So yesterday I was hangin out with LV under this big shady fig tree...and a coati hung out with us for hours and hours. I got to see coatis twice in two days AND this one let me get really close to him!
I have seen this individual before... he hangs out at the campground all the time. Being close to tourists has made him brave or something because he wasn't shy at all and didn't try to run away! While the capuchins napped in the sun, he foraged on the ground for a while and then climbed up in the tree and had a nap too. I got lots of great photos *cough* coati balls *cough* and some neat videos too!
Here is a video of him saying hi to me. He was literally close enough for me to reach out and touch. They look like little raccoon bears.

You're going to have a great collection of animal genital photos when you get back!
ReplyDeleteI like his ant eater nose.
