This was the first of many coatis that I saw on my trip to Costa Rica back in March. These guys are pretty widespread throughout much of South and Central America and even range up into the southwestern United States. I had my camera on the ground when this one passed by, foraging in the leaves — most likely looking for crabs — in Corcovado National Park.

A citizen of the world—- So curious agile and gregarious these—- Good guys wear white masks.
Is this guy related to the anteater with that long proboscis?
Hey Mom, they share some of the same range as anteaters and tamanduas but aren’t related. More closely related to the raccoon
So fun to watch! Great shot.
