Nasua
''Nasua'' is a genus of coatis of the family Procyonidae. Two additional species of coatis, commonly known as mountain coatis, are placed in the genus ''Nasuella''. Characteristics ''Nasua'' differs from ''Nasuella'' in being larger and having larger canine teeth, but preliminary genetic evidence (cytochrome b sequences) suggests that ''Nasuella'' should be merged into ''Nasua''. Other genetic studies have shown that the closest relatives of the coatis are the olingos (genus ''Bassaricyon''), from which they diverged about 10.2 million years ago. Diet Like other procyonids, coatis are omnivores. Their diet consists largely of insects (including their larvae), spiders and other invertebrates as well as the occasional small vertebrate discovered while energetically foraging, with their sensitive noses to the ground, in forest leaf litter. On Barro Colorado Island, Panama, where they have been studied in greatest detail, they supplement this diet with copious amounts of ...

Coati Mutual Grooming Frenzy
Coatis, also known as coatimundis (), are members of the family Procyonidae in the genera ''Nasua'' and ''Nasuella''. They are diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. The name "coatimundi" comes from the Tupian languages of Brazil, where it means "lone coati". Locally in Belize, the coati is known as "quash". Physical characteristics Adult coatis measure from head to the base of the tail, which can be as long as their bodies. Coatis are about tall at the shoulder and weigh between , about the size of a large house cat. Males can become almost twice as large as females and have large, sharp canine teeth. The measurements above relate to the white-nosed and South America coatis. The two mountain coatis are smaller. All coatis share a slender head with an elongated, flexible, slightly upward-turned nose, small ears, dark feet, and a long, non-prehensile tail used for balance and signaling. Ring-tailed coatis ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

South American Coati
The South American coati (''Nasua nasua''), also known as the ring-tailed coati, is a coati species and a member of the raccoon family (Procyonidae), found in the tropical and subtropical parts of South America. An adult generally weighs from and is long, with half of that being its tail.Kays, R. (2009). South American Coati (Nasua nasua), pp. 526-528 in: Wilson, D. E., and R. A. Mittermeier, eds. (2009). ''Handbook of the Mammals of the World.'' Vol. 1, Carnivores. Its color is highly variable and the rings on the tail may be only somewhat visible, but its most distinguishing characteristic is that it lacks the largely white snout (or "nose") of its northern relative, the white-nosed coati. Distribution and habitat The South American coati is widespread in tropical and subtropical South America. It occurs in the lowland forests east of the Andes as high as from Colombia and The Guianas south to Uruguay and northern Argentina. Nasua nasua occupancy is significantly and negat ...

Procyonidae
Procyonidae is a New World family of the order Carnivora. It comprises the raccoons, ringtails, cacomistles, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, and olinguitos. Procyonids inhabit a wide range of environments and are generally omnivorous. Characteristics Procyonids are relatively small animals, with generally slender bodies and long tails, though the common raccoon tends to be bulky. Because of their general build, the Procyonidae are often popularly viewed as smaller cousins of the bear family. This is apparent in their German names: a raccoon is called a ''Waschbär'' (washing bear, as it "washes" its food before eating), a coati is a ''Nasenbär'' (nose-bear), while a kinkajou is a ''Honigbär'' (honey-bear). Dutch follows suit, calling the animals ''wasbeer'', ''neusbeer'' and ''rolstaartbeer'' respectively. However, it is now believed that procyonids are more closely related to mustelids than to bears. Procyonids share common morphological characteristics including a sho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nasuella
Mountain coatis are two species of procyonid mammals from the genus ''Nasuella''. Unlike the larger coatis from the genus '' Nasua'', mountain coatis only weigh and are endemic to the north Andean highlands in South America. Genetics and taxonomy Genetic evidence indicates that the genus ''Nasua'' is only monophyletic if it also includes the mountain coatis. Based on cytochrome b sequences, '' Nasua nasua'' is the sister taxon to a clade consisting of '' Nasua narica'' plus both species of ''Nasuella''. Until recently only a single species with three subspecies was recognized. In 2009 this species was split into two species, the eastern mountain coati (''N. meridensis'') from Venezuela, and the western mountain coati (''N. olivacea'', with subspecies ''quitensis'') from Colombia and Ecuador. After a genetic analysis in 2020, the American Society of Mammalogists currently considers ''N. meridensis'' a synonym of ''N. olivacea''. Range and description Externally, the tw ...

Cozumel Island Coati
The Cozumel coati (''Nasua narica nelsoni''), or Cozumel Island coati, is a coati from the Mexican island of Cozumel, in the Caribbean Sea. It is in the family Procyonidae, which also includes raccoons, olingos, and kinkajous. Taxonomy It has been treated as a species, but the vast majority of recent authorities treat it as a subspecies of the white-nosed coati.Kays, R. (2009). White-nosed Coati (Nasua narica), pp. 527-528 in: Wilson, D. E., and R. A. Mittermeier, eds. (2009). ''Handbook of the Mammals of the World.'' Vol. 1, Carnivores. Cozumel Island coatis are slightly smaller than the white-nosed coatis of the adjacent mainland (''N. n. yucatanica''); but, when compared more widely to white-nosed coatis, the difference in size is not as clear.Decker, D. M. (1991). Systematics Of The Coatis, Genus Nasua (Mammalia, Procyonidae).'' Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 104: 370-386 The level of other differences also support its status as a subspecies rather t ...

Nasuella Meridensis
The eastern mountain coati or eastern dwarf coati (''Nasuella meridensis'') is a small procyonid found in cloud forest and páramo at elevations of in the Andes of western Venezuela. Until 2009, it was included as a subspecies of the western mountain coati (''Nasuella olivacea''), but the eastern mountain coati is overall smaller, somewhat shorter-tailed on average, has markedly smaller teeth, a paler olive-brown pelage, and usually a dark mid-dorsal stripe on the back versus more rufescent or blackish, and usually without a dark mid-dorsal stripe in the western mountain coati. When the two were combined, they were classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List but following the split the eastern mountain coati is considered endangered An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poachin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
