0 a small animal with a long nose and a long tail with dark rings around it, found mainly in Central and South America --
Recently, the species has expanded excessively; its fruits, which naturally fall to the ground and open, are eagerly eaten by small mammals such as the common marmoset and coati.
The 14 species of carnivores include raccoons, coati, kinkajou, olingo, skunks, grison, tayra and five species of cats (jaguar, ocelot, margay, jaguarundi and puma).
Predators of fruits bats include owls, snakes, large opossums, and coati.
It has been treated as a species, but the vast majority of recent authorities treat it as a subspecies of the white-nosed coati.
Optimally, they should have a spacious outdoor enclosure and a coati-proofed room in the house and/or other climate-controlled place, as well.
Therefore, the reduction in litter fauna in the dry season plus the presence of highly desirable fruits such as figs favours the feeding encounters between howler monkeys and coatis.
Mean coati band size during encounters was 2.5 animals and on 12 occasions only solitary coatis were involved.
However, only one aggression event was observed during a feeding encounter between howlers and coatis.
