Coati on the Cliff
Last week I was talking to a neighbor who is an avid mountain lion hunter. He is running into an unusual number of coatimundi, or cotamundi, while hunting – throws his dogs off lion scent. I have seen a few coatis on our ranch recently, usually a solitary male. On the way to town yesterday a coatimundi posed for us right beside the road. He was totally unconcerned as we took pictures. I have had a lone coati come right down the middle of our driveway and actually make me go off the side as he claimed the road. My sister who lives in Tennessee has never seen a coatimundi – never heard of the critter. So Sis, here is a picture to help you make sense of my description. See – they do look kind of like a raccoon/badger/monkey cross.
