I had a good time with this band of coatis, deep inside Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. There were about 20 to 30 total individuals. After a while, they forgot I was even there and at one point, I was surrounded on all sides as they went about their business of foraging, grooming, playing and resting. I was able to use my wide angle lens to capture a series of environmental images, including this one when one of the coatis took a moment to look my way while eating fruits from the forest floor.

What a remarkable looking face this creature has. Must have been something to be surrounded by so many of these animals, Sean.
No doubt Sue. I love when I can be out in nature on my own, sitting quietly while surrounded by wildlife.
Wow, just wow! Great expression and fabulous light.
Thanks Rick. I have seen coatis many times, but none as cooperative as these guys.

What an interesting face! Great capture!
Thanks Rachel. Kind of reminds me of the old Hamburglar character from when I was a kid.
Now that you mention it, yes it does!
How lucky for you to spend time with these awesome creatures.
No doubt Gray, no doubt.
oh what neat looking creature today.
