They are protected under CITES Appendix III by Honduras, and are offered protection as an endangered species in New Mexico.<\/p>\n The primary threats to coatis are habitat loss and hunting. Coatis are hunted for their meat and their pelts and are sometimes captured in traps intended for other species or accidentally killed by hunters seeking other animals. Coatis are also occasionally kept as pets. Distemper and rabies affect coati populations, and natural predators include cats, boas and large birds.<\/p>\n This species suffered significant population declines in the 1960s but has since recovered. White-nosed coatis have extended their range into the United States since the beginning of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n Help this Species<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Meet the Animals” tab_id=”1677779382337-dd03985c-838f”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left” el_class=”sidebarheading”][vc_custom_heading text=”WHERE TO FIND THE COATI” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left”][vc_single_image image=”1586″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_images_carousel images=”1578,1579″ img_size=”1200×500″ onclick=”link_no”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”sidebarheading”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_custom_heading text=”Coati” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:center”][vc_column_text] White-nosed coatis are small mammals native to North, Central and South America, from Arizona to Argentina.\u00a0They have strong claws…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1619,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-1546","cpt_services","type-cpt_services","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cpt_services_group-animals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_services\/1546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cpt_services"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zoologicodecordoba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
