Description

Coatis’ colors range from light and dark browns, reddish brown, and gray, and their underside tends to be lighter. While the different species tend to have similar colorations that can be used to tell them apart, their coloration can be highly variable even at the intra-population level. They are most easily identified by their long and flexible snout, small round ears, long and curved, but blunt, claws, and a bushy tail that is the same length as their torso. They will weigh in the range of 6.6 to 14.5 pounds (3 - 6.6 kg) with the males usually being larger. On average, they are about 2 feet (60cm) from nose to tail base, then their tail is about another 2 feet long (60cm). They stand about 1-foot-tall at the shoulders (30cm). The South American Coati (Ring-Tailed Coati) tends to be a lighter brown color. They are most easily identified by their ringed tail as the name suggests. Their nose will be a dark brown/black color and will have white spots on their face.
