Field Notes

Description:

Long stripy tail, long snout.

Habitat:

Canaima, Venezuela

Notes:

I am not sure how wild this koati was. I spotted it during my visit at a guesthouse in Canaima. It seemed free to go where it wanted and it wanted mostly to sniff people's butts while they where sitting on the ratan chairs ;-) :-)
Very funny guy!

Muchas Gracias Gerardo. Estoy muy emocionado de estar en movimiento a Venezuela en Julio y con la esperanza de encontrar muchas criatura allí. Lo haré todo lo diviso poste en la Misión de Venezuela. Gracias por invitarme.
