Coatimundi

This is a baby White-nosed Coati (Coatimundi). In Spanish it is Gato Solo or Zuto. Its scientific name is Nasua narica. The adults usually grow up to about 55 centimeters.
I found this coati with 2 other adults and another baby in total they were 4.
They are similar to raccoons, and have a long nose for looking through leaves and dirt for food. I found these ones near the American Embassy.
