Coati, or coatimundi, are native to Central, South America and south-western North America. They are members of the raccoon family. They are 13-27 inches from head to the base of the tail and weigh between 4-17.5 lbs. The coati has a long, hog-nosed snout and a long raccoon-like tail. Like raccoons, they are omnivores and eat whatever they can find.
