The Coati, or Coatimundi (Nasua nasua) is fairly common within the Chiricahua Mountains. During the fall and winter, bands of coatis are often spotted at lower elevations, around Silver Spur Meadow and the Bonita Canyon Campground. Coatis are very social animals, and the females and their young often group together to forage. The males are usually solitary. Coatis, unlike their cousins the ringtail and the racoon, are diurnal, which means they are active during the day.
