High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Coatis, genera Nasua and Nasuella, also known as Brazilian aardvarks, Mexican tejon, hog-nosed coons, pizotes, crackoons and snookum bears, are members of the raccoon family (Procyonidae). They are diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America, and south-western North America. The word "coatimundi" is a commonly used misnomer applied to solitary adult males of N. nasua. The term is reported to be derived from the Tupi language (Paraguay). Adult coatis measure 33 to 69 cm (13 to 27 in) from head to the base of the tail, which can be as long as their bodies. Coatis are about 30 cm (12 in) tall at the shoulder, and weigh between 3 and 8 kg (6.6 and 18 lb), about the size of a large housecat. Males can become almost twice as large as females and have large, sharp canine teeth.
