Coatimundis, also known as Coatis, are found in tropical regions of South American, from Columbia and Venezuela to Uruguay, northern parts of Argentina, and into Ecuador.
Coatis are good climbers and swim well. They are diurnal and spend most of the day hunting for food. Although they are mostly terrestrial, they do sleep, mate, and give birth in trees. When disturbed they descend from tree to tree and escape on the ground. - Taken from Animal Diversity Web. |
