Coati Appears in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the Playstation 3!

 
That's right, coati fans! Coatis have made an appearance in a videogame!  And not just any videogame.
In 2007's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for the Playstation 3, your character Nathan Drake is on a modern day Indiana Jones-esque adventure.  During the course of the game, the player will occasionally notice very small flashes of light in out of the way places that denote the location of a 'treasure' that Drake can add to his relics.  Two of these relics are a gold coatimundi statue as well as a silver coatimundi statue (see pic)!
   Being a long-time gamer and hardcore coatimundi fan, you can't even begin to understand how excited I was when I noticed one of these small flashing objects behind a crate, directed Drake over to it, picked it up and finally saw it come up on my 'items' list!  I had no idea that the game contained this little statue and was ecstatic when my inventory list told me I'd just picked up a coatimundi statue! Just. Awesome!
  While I only found the silver coati statue, I'll be going back for the other soon.
   Just had to share this with all of you coatimundi fans who aren't into playing videogames just because it's kinda cool how this amazing little critter sneaks into just about everything.
  Now, game developers: When are we gonna get a game with a coati as the central character?  Seriously!
  Enjoy the two videos below showing the location and collecting of the statues.
