A tropical animal with a long snout, long tail, and reddish-brown fur, related to raccoons and found in Central and South America.
From Guarani or Tupi (South American indigenous languages) 'coati'. The word entered European languages in the 16th century through explorers and naturalists documenting New World fauna.
Coatis are incredibly clever—they use their flexible snouts like hands to dig for food, flip rocks, and investigate everything, and they can be just as mischievous as raccoons!
