Coatis are raccoon-like mammals native to South and Central America. Although they are wild animals, coatis are often fed by tourists. This encourages recurring behavior with unfortunate consequences: Many people have been injured in coati encounters and have needed to get shots to ward off the risk of rabies, while coatis have grown obese. Park officials have determined how they are going to deal with these problems. Recently, they posted signs warning tourists not to feed the animals. As a result, coatis returned to the forests to hunt for bugs

Coatis are raccoon-like mammals native to South and Central America. Many people find them cute, and tourists have made a habit of offering the coatis food. Coatis realize that it is easier to seek out tourists than to search the forest for bugs. Like humans, they prefer junk food to what they should be eating. For their part, tourists do little to discourage the animals. After all, a coati drinking soda makes for a great vacation photo. Scientists, however, say that coatis and humans do best when they stay away from each other.
