Cute lil bugger :)

Thank you. I wasn't sure what it was, was thinking,
"Hmmm, not an anteater, not a coon, not a fox, but looks like all mixed together" lol

I found this for other that may want more info:


Coati
(Nasua narica)
The four species of coati are relatives of raccoons, all of which live in the New World.
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/NorthAmerica/Facts/images/coati.jpgHome Range
Arizona, New Mexico, Central America, the Amazon rainforest, Argentina, and Uruguay
Habitat
Woodlands, desert grasslands, forests
Diet
Insects, fruit, and occasionally mice, lizards, and frogs
Social Structure
All females and young males live in bands (groups) of up to 20. Except during the breeding season, adult males live alone. Coatis are diurnal—active during the day.
Reproduction
During the annual breeding season, a single male is allowed into a band and mates with the females. After a gestation of ten to 11 weeks, females build a tree nest and give birth to a litter of two to seven young. Several weeks later, mother and young rejoin the band. Once males are two years old, they become solitary.
Status
Coatis are not endangered.

I'm thinking there's no way they're legal to own in the US?

[BlueJay]

Thanks all! She's a right handful, but still a little sweetheart


I'm thinking there's no way they're legal to own in the US?

No idea, i'm afraid! I guess it'd depend on the state?
They were DWAL in the UK a couple of years ago

She is adorable. I had a pair of coons when I was young. They were trouble makers, but a lot of fun. Congrats on your new cutie.
