The white-nosed coati (Nasua narica) has a tail that’s just as long as its body, but its nose may be its most impressive feature!👃🏼

With an abundance of sensory receptors around its snout, this raccoon relative has a sharp sense of smell. A variety of muscles at the tip of its nose make it highly flexible—perfect for poking around the forest floor for grubs, ants, and beetles. When drinking water, the coati can even curl its nose upwards to avoid getting it wet! It has a wide range across the Americas, from Arizona to the Andes.
