We often get asked what the coatis are eating when they’re spotted in the arboretum. Coatis are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals, and spend much of their day foraging for food. Although they are primarily seen going after fruit and bugs, they can go after larger prey, such as mice, lizards, and small birds.
As a reminder, please do not feed wildlife. It’s best practice to keep food in airtight containers when wildlife may be present.
