SynopsisOne morning in late summer, naturalist Doug Moore was driving in Madera Canyon in southeastern Arizona. He suddenly noticed a strange-looking animal in the middle of the road. At first Doug thought it was a monkey, but as the car inched closer, the animal spun around to face him head-on. It wasn't a monkey-it was a mysterious white-nosed coati! Look inside to learn more about these secretive animals, including how they hunt, raise their young, and survive in the wild. You'll also find out how humans are helping to make sure that coatis-truly among America's finest hidden animal treasures-are around for a long, long time. Book jacket., One sunny morning in late summer, naturalist Doug Moore was driving in Madera Canyon in southeastern Arizona when he noticed a large animal on the road. He saw that the creature had a long snout, slender body, and long tail with rings of light and dark fur. At first he thought it looked like a monkey. After stopping his car for a better look, Doug saw that it wasn't a monkey at all--it was a white-nosed coati! These small mammals are rarely seen in the United States because their population has been reduced by hunting and habitat loss. In White-Nosed Coati: Raccoon's Cousin, kids go on a real-life adventure with wildlife biologists as they research these elusive creatures. Children will learn about the coatis' natural habitat, diet, behavior, and physical characteristics. Large, full-color photos and a dramatic narrative format will keep readers turning the pages.
