Coatimundis are quite fond of the hard yucca fruit. This solitary male somehow managed to navigate the dagger-like leaves to earn his lunch. Sometimes referred to as “Mexican raccoon,” coatis are closely-related. They also share an extremely versatile diet that includes anything from plants / fruits, to insects and rodents. A friend of mine once watched several corner a rock squirrel before proceeding to dismember and eat the poor creature!
