    1. Yes, they look great. Luckily they are not that hard to find. They regularly visit urban areas to seek for food in trashcans. Posted 14 years ago

The white-nosed coati is a species of coati and a member of the family Procyonidae. Local names include Pizote, Antoon and Tejón. The last, which mainly is used in Mexico, means badger. It averages about 4–6 kg in weight. However, males are much larger than females, and small females weigh as little as 2.5 kg and large males as much as 12.2 kg. On average, the total length is about 110 cm, about half of that being the tail length.
