Dental Care for Coatis

Animals don't brush their teeth. (looks around the room) Okay. Good. No objections to that. As they reach the later stages in life that can sometimes become an issue. For those that are curious about dental care for the coati? Who would've thought that the Smithsonian National Zoological Park would offer, on their site, how to care for of all things, a coatis teeth? Well they do offer just that. Follow the dental exam of a 14-year-old coati named Jazz as she goes through the process. Very cool that this information is available online for those that work with or own (which I don't condone)a coatimundi. National Zoo veterinarians treat the severe dental problems of an old coati named Jazz.
