Coatis can be locally common throughout their range, but always exciting to come across one… or two, or twenty on a hike through the forest. I found this skittish coati in the dry forest of Guyana’s Rupununi region. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 5600, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second.

Looks like a sweet little thing!
We saw a lot of these in Iguasu – they would get into our packs and steal stuff. They were very friendly and unafraid of humans.
