The females and their young band together. However, the males are driven out of the group when they mature. So. Kevin and his brethern are used to being on their own.
Grew up in southern Arizona. A family that I passed on my way to and from school had one. The boys in that family would let him roam around and it would crawl on them, go up and down the wall with its nose twitching like crazy. I wanted one. I wanted to pet theirs, but they weren't letting anyone touch it. Waaa!
Pronounced Quati- Mundi… my mom went to South America and came home with one of these as a pet. It nearly drove my grandmother insane. My grandmother hated being startled and the Coati would wait on the top of doors and jump down on her shoulders … picturing this makes me laugh until I cry.
Yeah. I've worked with these in the Netherlands and this is not ok These are family animals the shouldn't be kept alone. I don't think these should even be kept as pets, they aren't pets. It would also be better to have a outdoor enclosire with nature etc.
I mean everything as a pet if it is kept by a human specifically for companionship that makes it a pet pet is not a specific sub group of animals it is any animal kept by a human as a companion
@@charlottewalnut3118 Well yeah, but there is a difference between animals that can be kept as pets and animals that can't. You might like keeping a coati as a pet, but that coati will not. It isn't meant to be a pet and is kept in all the wrong conditions
@@Nasuto1702 Yeah not to mention they can be aggressive and they bite and when they get bored they lower your house's property value. There's four different kinds of coatis and absolutely none of them will tolerate us.
@@Nasuto1702 I think there are people who have the right requirements and can provide proper enrichment and stimulation to care for a coati and ensure it to live a happy life but the majority of the population are incapable of caring for sugar gliders and budgies let alone coatis.
@@Yotomoco Uhm, no, you're not not quite right there. I grew up in southern Arizona. In Latin, Italian, Catalan, French, and Spanish it's pronounced ko-Ah-tea-MOON-dee. The heaviest emphasize on the moon syllable. That's prounced sill-LAAA-bull. When you say it, open your mouth really wide for LAAA syllable to get the distorted pronunciation right, ok?
@@JamieLoweTV If you ever find yourself near Tucson, Arizona, there is a place called Colossal Cave. There is a group of wild Coatis that live in the cave and around it!
He's not grooming the people, he likes they smell of their hair. Try giving him anything scented and he will put it in his tail. A word of caution, never rattle your keys, that sound, must be fighting words in the coati language.
It’s not “Cody”!!! It’s “Co Ah Tee”. I can legally own them where I live. They cost $1,000. I played with some in Costa Rica. They are more friendly than dogs. Getting one to live in my room maybe sleep by my dog near my bed. They are total sweet hearts never violent even when 3 year old sister god a bit rough. They actually are native to southern Texas. I must have one!!!
It'd be better if he was kept as a proper pet, instead of a specimen in a menagerie; that way he could interact with people a lot more and not be lonely..
We regularly saw coatimundi in Arizona's mountains. They're very social and used to living in large groups.
Sadly Kev has been on his own all his life. But I can imagine them to be very social groups of animals 😀

*Coati can also be found in North America with it being common in Southern Mexico and occasionally see some get up north as Arizona

I think that every time I see someone with a dog locked up in their house all day. So sad.
His mispronunciation of the critters name is like nails on a chalkboard
😀 that’s how the owner said it!
@@JamieLoweTV It's pronounced "kwa-tee" in the countries that they originate x
And in the U.S. - where we're not exactly known for trying to pronounce things correctly lol
@@giftedboi that's abosultely fine! different accents change pronounciations of almost every word hehe

What is the song in the end? 😄
I saw a bunch of these in the wild in Arizona. They weren't as friendly as Kev, I was told they get in serious fights with each other.
Kev has been hand reared but I can imagine they can put up a fight when they want to!

I love how they compare them to squirrels - if you've never seen a squirrel accustomed to humans, you know they're a nuisance!

Interesting, thanks for the comment 😃
Sleeps 4 hours a day unlike a cat which is awake 4 hours a day.
My Aunt had one of these and it attacked her when nobody was around she almost died
Okay but it’s still technically not a raccoon right?

Social Animals--he should have a family with him.
Didn't realize "from a mile away" was a term used amongst metric peoole
Hahaha yeah all the time!
weed racoon
Accurate
Can't believe he only sleeps 4 hours a night. That's nuts!
I bet with all this domestication that'll be up to 6-8 in 20 years
Looks like a raccoonxshrewxbear mixed together
That's a prison
Well he will live twice as long in that then he would in the wild so it’s not all doom and gloom
@@standarsh2186 torture for twice as long? Joy.
@@giftedboi Being a pet isn't torture if the keepers know what they're doing and are simpatico with the animals.
This dude get to chill and be fed for free, instead of fighting for his life in the wild, seems like a pretty good prison to me!
Coh-ah-tea-moon-dee. Social animals that live in groups. Cruel for him to live alone.
males are solitary
*Adult* males are solitary
