Walking to the beach I saw two little French girls squealing on about something. Upon reaching them I noticed this fellow posing on a log. From the look in his eyes I could tell he was asking to be photographed. I accomodated his request then played with him for a half hour. Usually iguanas flee in fright as soon as they hear you, but this cultivated creature was very tame, allowing me to pet and study him up close.

Ultra-cute Coati!
Considered to be the most powerful bird of prey on earth, the males weigh four to six kg, the females up to eight kg. Their wingspans can be up to seven feet, their feet can approach the size of a man’s hand, with individual talons equalling in size that of a grizzly bear claw. Critically endangered in the wild, they are incredible and gorgeous birds to look upon.
