Wild coati roams Mexico resort looking for lunch
On a recent vacation, Brent noticed a very interesting and cute animal that he later discovered was called a Coati. The coati is in the racoon family, measuring approximately 13 to 17 inches long from head to the base of the tail and weights around 4-1/2 to 7 pounds.The coati are similar to the size of a large house cat. Having long tails, this is used in tall vegetation to keep their troops in order, making it easy for the rest to follow the leader whom has his tail held high. Also having long snouts which they can rotate up to sixty degrees in any direction, they use their noses for pushing objects as well as reaching itchy spots on their bodies. Having strong limbs they are great climbers and diggers. The little coati whom is the subject of this video was wandering the pool area at Vidanta Riviera Maya. This resort is approximately 30 minutes south of Cancun Mexico. While relaxing at the resort pool on his vacation, Brent saw some movement out the corner of his eye. Once turned enough to see what was moving, he discovered a theft in progress. Not a regular personal property theft, but one of the visitors lunch. What Brent began to witness was the ingenuity the coati has gained in order to gather food, the easiest way possible. Prowling the pool area is a perfect way to find scraps of food, or as this little guy discovered, a whole tray full of food. Of course it is not suggested to feed the animals or they will always be bothering the guests. Also being wild animals, they still may bite. After satisfying his hunger and emptying the guests plate of food, Mr Coati moved onto the next unsuspecting guest.
