Coatis are small, raccoon-like mammals found in the forests and grasslands of Central and South America. They have long snouts, sharp claws, and a distinctive ringed tail that they often hold upright. Coatis are social animals, usually seen in groups, and they are known for their playful behavior and curiosity. These creatures are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, insects, and small animals. Coatis are excellent climbers, using their strong limbs to navigate trees in search of food. Their adaptability to different environments makes them fascinating members of the Procyonidae family, which also includes raccoons and kinkajous.
