There is lots of wildlife in Guatemala.
Yesterday I saw lots of coatis in the sub-tropical rain forest in Guatemala.
I called a coatemundi Cutey and I called another Fluffy.
The babies were very adorable.
The females live in groups with the babies but the males leave the group when they are 3 years old. This is a male.
They are mammals and they are related to the racoon. They eat everything except sticks. They live in the trees and on the ground. When they are frightened they climb into the trees and jump down to disappear. We thought they were monkeys up in the trees. We saw spider monkeys and a tarantula tree too.
We saw coatis in Costa Rica too. Sometimes we had to wait for a family of them to cross the road. We also saw them at an outdoor snack restaurant at Iguazu Falls in Argentina. They were into the rubbish eating the food people threw away.

Yep, they are all over south america, I think – we saw them at Foz do Iguazu. I see you have done quite some research on them! Congratulations!
