Co'ati, or COATI-MUNDI (Nasua), a genus of the raccoon family (Procyonidæ), in the bear-like section of Carnivora. There are two species found in Mexico, Central America, and South America. They live on trees, feeding somewhat omnivorously, and grubbing with an upturned flexible snout. They are social in their habits, and readily adapt themselves to domestication. See RACCOON.
