Mountain coatis live in large groups in the mountains of Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. They have long, flexible noses for sniffing and rooting out food from fallen leaves in the forest and they hold their striped tails up in the air while foraging. Coatis like to climb trees and are very acrobatic. These three males can often be seen bounding through the tree limbs in their exhibit and will engage with zoo-goers through the glass.
