We’re partnering with Florida Tech to better understand carnivore cognition. Our not-so-little coati band is shedding light on this largely understudied group of animals. This is a collaborative effort among several institutions to draw conclusions about how different aspects of animals’ foraging ecology, brain and body size, as well as social ecology predict their flexibility in problem solving. 

We share with heavy hearts that one of our 4-month-old white-nosed coati kits, Bailey, was compassionately euthanized due to a severe ongoing medical condition.

Our veterinary team is hard at work as they try to learn more about what white-nosed coatis Bailey and Brandy are experiencing.

Our Zoo is home to the first white-nosed coati births in about 7 years in a North American facility accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Our white-nosed coati habitats in Rainforest Revealed may be a little quieter over the next few weeks – but not for too long. Two of our female coatis, Sky and Rita, are pregnant!

Our eldest white-nosed coati, Katie, recently received gold bead implants, a type of acupuncture, to help relieve symptoms of arthritis.
