This baby coati stopped to rest and preen with the narrowest gap in the lush vegetation. He/she was virtually framed in wildflowers!
Over the course of nearly 2 months, I have been visiting a remote valley to watch a troop of coatimundis. I spent untold hours (sometimes from dawn until dusk) watching them play, forage, and explore this valley. After some time, I became familiar with different individuals and their unique quirks. Upon locating the troop (their path of destruction is unmistakable), I would sit some distance away at a relatively exposed location with little sound or movement.
