Coatimundi and me

I was walking in the door and I happened to look over to my right and there was this animal, long and kinda big, sniffing around the side yard around 10 feet away. An animal I have never seen before. I hurried through the door (needless to say) and grabbed my camera. Seems this fella is a common visitor in the neighborhood. When he saw me he stood up on his back paws like he was begging. Reminded me of a VERY LARGE raccoon. Quite a cutie, and I guess nothing to be fearful of, although I would not hand feed him. ha. He has a snozzola sort of like a pig.
Everyday is an adventure here!
