What does COATI mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A raccoon-related mammal of Central and South America with a long, flexible snout and a ringed tail.
A coati forages on the ground during the day, using its long snout to root through leaf litter for insects and fruit, unlike its mostly nocturnal raccoon relatives. Females and young often travel in bands, while adult males tend to live alone. Some writers use the fuller name coatimundi for the very same animal, a form that comes from a Tupian word describing the solitary habit of the older males.
