If this isn't the cutest coati kit you've ever seen! Coatimundis (coati, for short) are members of the raccoon family, and there may have never been a cuter representative of the species than this sleeping baby. 🥹
Female coatis give birth to up to six kits in the springtime, and then raise them in groups with other mothers and their young in a group called a "band" or "troop." This social structure allows them to work together to find food, protect their young, and defend their territory. Learn more about these unique animals at AZStateParks.com/Coatimundi.
