 Little is known about the behavior of the mountain coatis, and the following is almost entirely about the coatis of the genus "Nasua".Unlike most members of the raccoon family (Procyonidae), coatis are primarily diurnal.Nasua coati females and young males up to two years of age are gregarious and travel through their territories in noisy, loosely organized bands made up of four to 25 individuals, foraging with their offspring on the ground or in the forest canopy.
