Coatimundis are mammals. They are similar to raccoons, but with a longer nose and bigger paws. They have dark fur and ususally a white-ringed tail. Some people know them as "ring tailed cats." They are found in the Southwest of North America, as well as in Central America and South America. They are omnivorous, so eat most anything, from fruits and nuts, to insects and eggs, and even small mammals.

That's the coatimundi, a mammal of South and Central America, and southwestern North America. It is a small, reddish brown animal that looks similar to a raccoon. The coatimundi is closely related to bears, as are raccoons. It is an omnivore, and it will eat fruits, nuts, roots, fish, insects, eggs, and small birds. Unfortunately, coatimundis are somewhat endangered due to unregulated hunting and habitat destruction.

Coatimundi?? or something like that. I thinks it's also called a bearcat. it's endemic to the Pacific ocean regions, kind of like a large racoon thing.
