Coati morning feed and clean

This relative of the raccoon, with its snuffling nose and scrabbling claws, is a wonderfully adapted invertebrate hunter. Of the three coati species, the ring-tailed is the least threatened, but is declining in its native South America because of habitat loss to humans.

At Durrell we are able to develop successful husbandry methods for hopeful future use on a more endangered species, and set up the first mixed exhibit of carnivores with the coatis living alongside the Andean bears in the Cloud Forest Exhibit (formerly known as First Impressions).
