A new study and research is showing that female coati will teach juveniles how to steal from unrelated coatis!
Ben Hirsch of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute:
"No previously published model of animal behavior would have predicted that young juvenile coatis should regularly attack and steal food from older relatives. Additionally, the pattern that adult females come to the aid of these non-related juveniles really flies in the face of what we thought. What we have described is a quasi-cooperative behavior that is evidently not kin based."
