Where: Dierenpark Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

Of course, while we were enjoying her babies' antics, we also had to photograph Momma Coati She is a very good mother, raising a rumbunctious set of triplets who are growing up way too fast!

Species: White-Nosed Coati (Witsnuitneusbeer)

Latin name: Nasua Narica

Originates from the wooded area, dry and moist forest, of the Americas.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…The White-Nosed Coati is also known as the Coatimundi, Pizote, Antoon and Tejón.

…While it’s other relatives in the Procyonidae family tree such as the Raccoon and Ringtail, are nocturnal the Coati is active by day. Although in areas where they are hunted for food, or where they raid human settlements for their own food, their routine might become more nocturnal.

…While adult males are solitary, females and immature males form social groups. They use many vocal signals to communicate, spend time grooming themselves and each other, and during foraging the young ones are left with a pair of babysitters.
