Old Photo of David Attenborough with a Coati!

I'm always looking for old photos featuring coati in them.
Recently a VR experience featuring the man was on display in London.
An article talking about Attenborough shared several photos...
One of which made me and, if you're as much of a fan of the coati as I am, will probably make you smile as well.
A photo of the actor with his son...
And a baby coatimundi.

Coati Moves Into Mansion; Evicted Soon After


A mansion is Tucson (that asked not to be named in the original article because they didn't want the publicity...but I'm here to tell you it was probably the Franklin House) became the chosen residence for a wayward coati in November.
Something had been ripping up the lawn (coati can smell grubs up to 2ft into the ground) and causing some havoc to the gardens surrounding the mansion.
After learning that the culprit, who was doing a not-so-great job as a horticulturist on the mansion's grounds, was a coati, the animal control folks set up trail cams to see whether or not the animal was alone or part of a group. Once it was determined that it was a solo male, traps were set.
Almost immediately the coati went for the bait, found itself in a trap and eventually being released back into the wild at Catalina State Park nearby.
