The white-nosed coati (Nasua narica),[2] also known as the coatimundi (/koʊˌɑːtɪˈmʌndi/),[1][3] is a species of coati and a member of the family Procyonidae (raccoons and their relatives). Local Spanish names for the species include pizote, antoon, and tejón, depending upon the region.[4] It weighs about 4–6 kg (8.8–13.2 lb).[5] However, males are much larger than females: small females can weigh as little as 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), while large males can weigh as much as 12.2 kg (27 lb).[6][7] On average, the nose-to-tail length of the species is about 110 cm (3.6 ft) with about half of that being the tail length.
