Cozumel Island coati
The Cozumel Island coati (''Nasua narica nelsoni'') is a coati from the Mexican island of Cozumel. It is in the family Procyonidae, which also includes raccoons, olingos, and kinkajous. It has been treated as a species, but the vast majority of recent authorities treat it as a subspecies of the white-nosed coati.〔Kays, R. (2009). White-nosed Coati (Nasua narica), pp. 527-528 in: Wilson, D. E., and R. A. Mittermeier, eds. (2009). ''Handbook of the Mammals of the World.'' Vol. 1, Carnivores. ISBN 978-84-96553-49-1〕 Cozumel Island coatis are slightly smaller than the white-nosed coatis of the adjacent mainland (''N. n. yucatanica''); but, when compared more widely to white-nosed coatis, the difference in size is not as clear.〔Decker, D. M. (1991). ''(Systematics Of The Coatis, Genus Nasua (Mammalia, Procyonidae) ).'' Proceedings of The Biological Society of Washington 104: 370-386〕 The level of other differences also support its status as a subspecies rather than a separate species.〔
It has been speculated that it is the result of an ancient introduction to Cozumel by the Mayans,〔Nowak, R., eds. (1999). ''Walker's Mammals of the World.'' Vol. 1, p. 700. Baltimore, Maryland: The Johns Hopkins University Press University Press. ISBN 0-8018-5789-9〕 Although not rated by the IUCN (where included in the widespread white-nosed coati),〔 it is believed that the Cozumel Island coati is highly threatened and close to extinction.
