The white-nosed coati is a relative of other Procyonidae like raccoons. Adult males live alone except at breeding season while the adult females and all young babies live together in groups called bands. ©C.A. Perez

White-nosed Coati Nasua narica

7/25/2023 Valle Escondido Preserve, Costa Rica

This was the only time we saw a coati while we were in Costa Rica, and it just popped out of nowhere right in front of us, trotted casually across the path, and disappeared into the forest on the other side. We saw it for maybe 10 seconds, and thankfully were able to snap a couple photos before it was gone. Very cool to see one in the wild!

Coati? :)

Sure thing, always a treat to see these fellas. I'll do a species I haven't done yet.
