Coatis Baby, Snookum Bear

Besides humans, the principal predators of coatis are other carnivores. Enemies include jaguarundis, foxes, dogs, tayras, ocelots and jaguars. However, large raptors, such as Ornate Hawk-Eagles, Black-and-chestnut Eagles and Harpy Eagles, also are known to hunt them. White-faced capuchin monkeys also hunt their pups.
Status
Coatis face unregulated hunting and the serious threat of environmental destruction in Central and South America. The absence of scientifically sound population studies of Nasua or Nasuella in the wild is probably leading to a severe underestimation of the ecological problems and decline in numbers affecting the species.
