- awesome, thanks, ST seriously baffles me with its collective knowledge sometimes -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 8, 07:31
- well, it's a coati - here are all the types -- (link) - Andie Mar 8, 07:31 2
  - I think HK's animal has a more fluffy tail. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 07:34 1
    - never mind, looks like cacomistles are not common, whereas coatis are. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 07:44

- that's it! member of the raccoon family. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 07:29 1
  - I take that back, I think it looks more like a Cacomistle (another member of the raccoon family). -- (link) - loosilu Mar 8, 07:30
i think it's a pizote, we saw them at tikal (not sure if that's the right spelling) -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 07:28
Some kind of raccoon. Lemurs live in Madagascar. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 07:26 1
- that was my initial reaction as well... -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:27
