Heads or tails? For the white-nosed coati (Nasua narica), it’s always tails! Found throughout the Americas from Arizona to the Andes, this raccoon relative sports a tail that’s just as long as its body. This muscular appendage helps the coati balance while climbing. Its tail is also used as a signal, held high in the air while the coati forages, allowing individuals to keep track of each other. This highly social species lives in groups called bands, which consist of up to 20 females and their offspring. Adult males are solitary… except during mating season.
