Nasua nasua

Nasua nasua are medium-sized mammals
commonly known as South American coatis.
They are pretty similar to raccoons as they belong in the same family.
They live in groups of up to 40 and keep together
even when they look for food on trees or on the ground.
They eat fruit, vegetables, insects, eggs, etc.
 
I have never seen them live, except in the Attica Zoological Park
where they were incessantly playing on the branches of a tree.
