they do kind of look similar to the coatimundi, don't they? i wonder if the ringtail cat is another name for cotamundi or if maybe they are related species.

What a couple of wierdos!! I hope that they are still bangin' around when I get down there! They look like they belong in the jungle...not in the dessert mountain land. Hmmmm.

i'm not sure they'll be here when you come. it was such a suprise! and we haven't spotted them since that morning.

we'll hope, though, ok? it would be fun to see them again!
