The South American coati, or ring-tailed coati (''Nasua nasua''), is a species of coati from tropical and subtropical South America. In Brazilian Portuguese it is known as quati. Weight in this species is and total length is , half of that being its tail.〔Kays, R. (2009). South American Coati (Nasua nasua), pp. 526-528 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〕 Its color is highly variable and the rings on the tail may be quite weak, but it lacks the largely white muzzle ("nose") of its northern cousin, the white-nosed coati.〔 ==Distribution== The South American coati is widespread in tropical and subtropical South America. Most of its distribution is in the lowlands east of the Andes (locally, it occurs as high as ), from Colombia and The Guianas south to Uruguay and northern Argentina (Chile is the only South American country where the species is not found).〔〔 The status of coatis west of the Andes has caused some confusion,〔Eisenberg, J., and K. H. Redford (1999). ''Mammals of the Neotropics: The Central Neotropics.'' Vol. 3, p. 288. ISBN 0-226-19541-4〕 but specimen records from west Ecuador, and north and west Colombia are South American coatis.〔Decker, D. M. (1991). ''(Systematics Of The Coatis, Genus Nasua (Mammalia, Procyonidae) ).'' Proceedings of The Biological Society of Washington 104: 370-386〕〔Guzman-Lenis, A. R. (2004). ''(Preliminary Review of the Procyonidae in Colombia. )'' Acta Biológica Colombiana 9(1): 69-76〕 The only documented records of white-nosed coatis in South America are from far northwestern Colombia (Gulf of Urabá region, near Colombian border with Panama).〔〔 The smaller mountain coatis are mainly found at altitudes above the South American coati, but there is considerable overlap.〔Helgen, K.
