Description

When: January 27, 2022

Where: Dierenpark Zie-ZOO Volkel, the Netherlands

A few months after the birth of the babies, the males were separated from the females. No more babies for a while.

I don't know how, but it also lead to us being able to take a few good pictures for a change. They were calmer in a way, which is a great help with these busy and quick animals.

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.
