Coatimundi

- A raccoon-like mammal native to South and Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States
- The name "coatimundi" comes from the Tupian languages of Brazil and means "lone coati"
- Related to the raccoon, but the coati is diurnal (active in the daylight)
- Not real common in southern Arizona, but they are here!  Often a highlight of a trip to Mount Lemmon, Madera Canyon, Leslie Canyon, and others ...
