I dont think I've seen one of those guys in the flesh, but I knew about them.

If I'm not mistaken, their range extends into parts of the southwestern U.S. (i.e., southern Texas and New Mexico and parts of Arizona). I don't know if that's the same type/species of coati that's found in Central America, but they look pretty similar, in pictures, at least.
