Habitat:

Rainforest

Notes:

Coatimundis have taken over Iguazu Falls National Park in Argentina and Brazil. They wander around in packs, trying to steal food from distracted tourists. They are extremely curious, like raccoons, and don't seem to be shy of people. This one even posed for his photo!
