White-nosed Coatis (Nasua narica) are diurnal and, unusually for most Central America carnivores, highly social. They seem to fill a similar niche to raccoons. Ran into this one wandering around the Pocotal Research Station in the Bosque Eterno de los NiƱos, Costa Rica. It did not seem too perturbed that we were within 10 meters of each other.
