Coatimundi Day is February 1st at New Jersey Zoo!

  While perusing some news feeds, I came across something I hadn't heard of before, Coatimundi Day!
Similar to Groundhog Day when Punxsutawney Phil peeps out to give everyone the news on winter, Coatimundi Day comes a day early to the Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
  For more about what sounds like a fun event for coati lovers, check out the article below.  Also check out the official Groundhog Day site further down.
  If any of you have pictures of more information about the event?  Please don't hesitate to send it my way!  Would love to post some pics anyone would be willing to share.

"It gets cold in Dawson Creek, especially for a coatimundi."

  Once again people decide that hoarding exotics is a way to 'be cool'.  Here's a story that hit the radar about two weeks ago.  It's your typical wealthy people purchasing wild animals for a collection or just say 'look at me, look at me'.
  I felt that this story should be posted in the Collected Coatimundi because one of the animals who seemed to have the most trauma was a little coatimundi.
  "The coatimundi was being kept in a dog crate and had chewed its own paws, Ms. Moriarty said."
  Just reading that quote and thinking about such an intelligent, social animal like a coati being housed in a tiny dog crate where a horrible neurotic behavior like this can develop breaks my heart.
  I just don't get it the reasoning.  I never will.
