One of scores of coatis at Iguaçu Falls, in the vast National Park within which the falls lie, on the border of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.They are a bit like seagulls, or monkeys in India - great snatchers of food, expert upturners of rubbish bins and great scroungers in general in this environment. They use the fences like racetracks, and launch themselves like guided missiles at food sources. In the wild, they are shyer and very pretty animals.

Have a fabulous Friday..already Fri here. Wishing you all a great weekend...and for some of you, some dry weather!
Hugs and best wishes...

I've seen these in zoos but never in the wild. I like your comparison with seagulls and monkeys! Is that a baby bird it's trying to eat?

HFF to you Diana...............I hope you have a splendid weekend.

I think it was scrupulously checking a piece of fallen vegetation in case it sheltered food...

Awe, poor little mite but that is nature. Never seen a 'cotis' before, I thought it was a cat at first. Great capture.

HFF, Diana. Thank you for the caption too. I could picture them running along the fences in my mind's eye from your description of their antics!

A lovely shot Diana. I have never seen or heard of these little animals before. At first glance I though it was a cat. It must be fun to watch them working their way along the fences. Have a great weekend

What a fun picture to go with your wonderful and colorful text! So descriptive!! We saw many on our trip long ago to Belize and also Costa Rica and likened them to long-tailed, more active raccoons. Heh, I looked them up and in Mexico they are actually called Mexican Racoons! :D Also nice to confirm they are in the same family. No wonder they share such similar behaviors!
