White-nosed Coati Nasua narica
The White-nosed Coati is native to Mexico and Central America.
It looks similar to its better-known South American cousin, the Ring-tailed Coati, but has a white muzzle (but black nose).
Coatis are related to the raccoon family, but are more active in daytime and less active at night than raccoons.
Photos in the row immediately above and those below were taken by Alexandra Makhnina in Mexico.
Most have a ring pattern on the tail, less dominant than on the Ring-tailed Coati.

Coatis are mainly ground-foraging and tree-roosting omnivores.Groups are mainly females and juveniles; adult males are largely solitary.
