“Raccoons are mammals in the genus Procyon of the Procyonidae family. Raccoons are unusual for their thumbs, which (though not opposable) enable them to open many closed containers (such as garbage cans) and doors. They are intelligent omnivores with a reputation for being clever, sly, and mischievous. Raccoons range from 20 to 40 inches in length (including the tail) and weigh between 10 and 35 pounds (4.5 to 16 kilograms). The raccoon’s tail ranges from 8 to 16 inches in length. Male raccoons are generally larger than females.”

“The name coati (pronounced “co-ah-tee”) is applied to any of three species of small neotropical mammals in the genus Nasua, family Procyonidae, ranging from southern Arizona to north of Argentina. They are largely insectivorous, but also eat fruit. A fourth animal, the dwarf Mountain Coati, is not a true coati, and belongs to the genus Nasuella.
Distinctive features of all species of coati include a long, ringed tail, which is often held erect.
Unlike most members of the raccoon family, coatis are primarily diurnal.”

“I’ve been on a Manuel Antonio National Park tour with Paul. I have a lot of fun with the other 5 people. But what made the tour so exceptional was the passion that Paul have for nature. Sooooo interesting!
À la prochaine Paul!”
