The common nose (lat. Nasua nasua) is a funny predatory mammal of the Raccoon family (lat. Procyonidae), resembling a fox. It lives in Central and South America. Local Indians adore this animal.
Nosuhi are friendly and sociable in nature. They are easily tamed and love to play with people.
Farmers treat them more coolly because of their habit of periodically visiting chicken coops for young chickens, so they set traps on them and shoot them on the approaches to their possessions. Fortunately, there are still a lot of these beauties and nothing threatens their population.
Spreading
The habitat of the noses extends from the southern states of the United States to the northern provinces of Uruguay and Argentina. Animals are perfectly adapted to life in a wide variety of natural conditions. They thrive in tropical forests and dry savannahs. In the mountains they can live at altitudes up to 2500 m above sea level and are not found only in the High Andes.
Most of all, they like to settle in coniferous and deciduous forests of the temperate climate zone. Nosuhi easily tolerate both summer heat and winter cold.
Behavior
The common noses are active throughout the day. For the night, animals settle on thick branches of trees. Early in the morning, without waiting for dawn, they descend to the ground. After the morning toilet, which consists in a thorough cleaning of the fur, they go fishing. They go hunting in high spirits, always keeping their tail upright.
The animal searches for food by carefully rummaging through fallen leaves and turning over stones and branches. Its diet includes spiders, earthworms, various insects, crabs, lizards, small rodents and frogs.
Nosuhi love to feast on ripe fruits, tearing them off the branches with their paws or picking them up on the ground. They rest at noon only on the hottest days.
Females with cubs live in groups of up to 20 individuals, while males prefer to stay apart in splendid isolation. Some males try to join groups of females, but are usually met with fierce rebuffs.
The noses communicate with each other using a rich set of sounds, signal postures and developed facial expressions.
Their natural enemies are boas, birds of prey, and jaguars. In case of danger, they usually try to hide in the nearest hole or pit.
Fleeing from predators, they can run for up to three hours in a row at speeds up to 30 km / h. On calm days, the coats gracefully and unhurriedly bypass their home plots (40-300 hectares), passing from 2 to 7 km per day.
reproduction
During the mating season, females become more accommodating and allow one male into their group. To attract a handsome man, all the ladies begin to intensively and for a long time clean their fur, making an indelible impression on the wandering gentleman with their unheard-of cleanliness. By the end of the season, the male is expelled from the group.
Pregnancy lasts 7 to 8 weeks. Approximately 10-12 days before giving birth, the female leaves the group and starts building a nest on the top of a tree. Childbirth usually occurs on the 74-77th day.
3-5 blind, deaf and toothless cubs are born. The body length of a newborn baby is 25-30 cm with a weight of 100 to 180 g. On the tenth day, the babies begin to see clearly, and on the fourteenth they begin to hear. In the third week of their lives, they make their first forays out of their mother's nest and begin to explore the surroundings.
Mothers take great care of their offspring, constantly licking and feeding them.
At six weeks old, cubs can already follow their mother everywhere. She takes them to her group, where all the other females are very happy to meet the new arrival and begin to take care of him.
At 2 months, babies acquire a full set of milk teeth and gradually move on to regular solid food. Nosoha become sexually mature at the age of two.
Description
The head is elongated and narrow. The long muzzle ends with a movable nose. The ears are rounded and small. Close-set small round eyes are brown.
The tail is covered with thick short fur. When walking, the animal rests on the entire width of its paws. The toes are armed with strong claws.
The life expectancy of the common nose in the wild is about 14 years. At home, they live 17 years or more.
And an unusual, sometimes even a wild animal.
Among these animals, a native of South America stands out - coati or, as it is also called, nosuha.
Description and photo
The animal got its nickname due to the mobile and very sensitive nose. This is a mammal of the genus, similar in size to a small one.
In height, they grow up to 30 cm, in length - up to 40 cm females and up to 67 cm males. The tail can usually reach a size of 35-70 centimeters. Adult coatis weigh about 7-11 kg.
Outwardly, these animals are characterized by an elongated body, medium legs, and the hind legs are slightly longer than the front ones.
In a dark red color, they are somewhat similar to a fox, only the tail of the coat is decorated with rings of dark and light shades in order. Soft short hair creates the effect of a teddy bear and the desire to pet a raccoon.
Did you know? The paw of a raccoon is very similar in print to a human hand.
Is it worth starting a nosesuit: all the pros and cons
Nosukha adapts quite quickly at home, but do not forget that this is an animal from the wild, and in order to tame it, certain features must be taken into account.
Therefore, those who have already decided or are still thinking about such an acquisition should weigh the pros and cons. 
Possible difficulties that coati lovers will have to face are as follows:
- this type of raccoon is comparable in size to a small dog, which means that it is worth allocating a certain space in the dwelling for its habitat;
- noses make specific sounds that resemble bird chirps, and sometimes these sounds are so loud that not everyone is ready to withstand them;
- when walking an animal, you need to carefully monitor it or teach it to a leash, since it is accustomed to initially live in freedom, it can run away;
- coatis do not go to the tray like, so you should be prepared for the fact that they will often have to be cleaned up, and the house will no longer be as clean as before;
- by nature, raccoons have very long claws, and breeders should keep in mind that they can scratch pieces of furniture and you personally, they can be stronger than seals;
- there is always a risk that the animal will not take root at home, which means that it will behave as it would in the wild, with all the ensuing consequences.
- they do not emit an unpleasant odor;
- do not shed like many other pets;
- unpretentious to food;
- centenarians (life expectancy - up to 25 years);
- very sociable and friendly, like dogs.
After all the pros and cons of keeping raccoons at home have been considered and the positive aspects have won by a clear margin, special attention must be paid to the pet's place of residence.
An animal with a long nose is naturally very mobile, energetic, loves to climb a lot, explore and even swim. Therefore, you should evaluate the size of your own housing and the ability to share it with such an active resident.
The ideal option in this case would be a spacious aviary with a house, if you start a coat in a private house.
Important! If you keep a coati in an apartment, then it must be provided with a large spacious cage of at least 2 * 1.5 meters. In addition, periodically take the beast for walks.
If it is possible to install a pool for the nose, you should definitely do this, because the animal loves water very much. 
What do noses eat
The diet of the nosuha raccoon does not require a special approach, and you can feed it in a variety of ways. But still, it is better to choose those foods that he is used to eating in his usual wild environment:
- chicken eggs;
- quail eggs;
- chicken, turkey;
- potatoes, carrots, zucchini;
- berries;
- a variety of fruits - from apples and pears to kiwi and avocado.
Hygiene and care
Nosukh are kept in spacious cages, on the bottom of which a thick layer of sawdust is poured so that the animal has the opportunity to dig in it as in nature. 
A variety of branches and crossbars are installed in the cage in order to bring the environment as close as possible to the one familiar to the animal, with the possibility of an active lifestyle. Also, the dwelling is equipped with a feeder and a drinking bowl.
Important! It is necessary to clean the cage and change the sawdust as often as possible, since raccoons do not get used to the tray.
If possible, nosukha housing should be equipped with a water tank in the form of a pool, since they are very fond of water. Feeding is quite varied and frequent. On the day, the animal eats 1/10 of its weight, which is approximately 1.5 kg.
Nose dogs need to be vaccinated just like other pets like cats and dogs. Since the animal does not shed, there is no need to comb it, but bathing, especially if it does not have direct access to water, is a must.
Compatibility with other animals
Cohabitation of an ordinary coat and other animals is quite possible. The main thing is to separate their habitats. 
Since the raccoon is inherently a wild animal, then it must live separately from the usual domestic animals. This is especially true for birds, which the noses like to hunt in the wild.
With cats and dogs, domesticated raccoons are friendly and do not show hostility. But in case of offense, they are always ready to stand up for themselves. In general, these are quite affectionate and friendly animals that get along both with people and with other pets.
Did you know? When meeting with the enemy, the raccoon will flee, and in case of failure, it will pretend to be dead.
How much and where can you buy
Today, buying any animal, even the most exotic, is not difficult. But there is always the possibility of cheating and acquiring an unhealthy or wild animal.
In order not to face such a problem, the issue of buying a nosesuit must be approached very seriously. 
So, when searching, you should follow these rules:
- before buying, it is better to first meet with the seller and look at the animal;
- it is more reliable to look for an animal on specialized forums, where it is possible to choose offspring from raccoon breeders;
- find a nursery for breeding coats and visit it before buying, in order to personally see how it is kept, how it is looked after, whether the animal is healthy or not;
- inspect the animal before buying: a sick nose will have a dry nose, a sluggish look, and dirty eyes.
You should not buy a raccoon with home delivery. Thus, wild or sick animals are usually sold.
The cost of a small coat on the market ranges from $400 to $550, depending on the sex and age of the animal. 
Despite the fact that the habitual habitat of nosukh is wildlife and there are certain inconveniences in keeping them at home, nevertheless, these animals may well become pets and live in harmony with humans.
At home nosuha- coatimundi. The name is made up of two Indian words. Coati means "belt" and mun means "nose". The latter in the animal is long and mobile. The belt is a white stripe around the muzzle of the coat. The Redskins call her coati for short.
Nosuha animal
Description and features of the coat
The closest relative of the coati is the raccoon. There is a family of raccoons, which includes nosuha. This mammal was named Tupian Indians. Externally, the animal is different:
- Meter body length. This is an average. Miniature individuals in length are equal to 73 centimeters, and large ones are 136.
- Short paws. With a meter body length, the height of the animal at the shoulders is only 30 centimeters. The paws of the coati are powerful, with movable ankles. The last feature allows the coat to climb down from the trees, even with its head, even backwards. Long, sharp claws help to stay on the trunks.
- Long tail. It accounts for 36-60 centimeters. The long tail of the coat helps give signals to relatives. They read the nature of the movement, position. So zoologists explain what is the tail for. It is colored with black, beige, brown rings. This color against the background of a solid body makes the tail noticeable.
- Weighing an average of 4.5 to 6 kilograms. Large males can weigh about 11 kilos.
- Short, fluffy fur. The hairs are thick and coarse. The coat of different individuals is colored in orange, reddish, brown tones. Fur is not considered valuable.
- Sharp fangs like blades and high molars. The chewing surface of the latter is dotted with pointed tubercles. Coatis have 40 teeth in total.
- Elongated nose. It protrudes above the lower lip, pulled up. Thereby nose in the photo looks perky, cocky.
- Small, rounded ears.
Behaviorally, noses are distinguished by curiosity and fearlessness. Raccoons often approach settlements. Here, noses climb into garbage containers and bird flocks. In the tanks, the animals look for discarded goodies. In flocks, coatis grab eggs and chickens.
Types of noses
Nosukha - animal A that has subtypes. The genus includes 3 species. But there is a fourth one, which is closely related to the coati and is also called nosuha:
1. mountain coat. This is the same species belonging to a separate genus. It differs from other noses by a shortened tail and a more laterally compressed, small head. From the name it is clear that the animal lives in the mountains. The heights of the coat are from 2 to 3.2 thousand meters above sea level.
mountain coat
2. ordinary coat. Lives at altitudes up to 2 thousand meters. The animal is larger than other noses, often light brown in color.
Nosukha ordinary
3. Nelson's coat. She is the darkest, with a white spot on her neck and a semblance of gray hair on her shoulders and front paws.
Nelson's coat
4. Coati. It has white "rims" on the ears. There are also light spots above and below the eyes. Therefore, they look elongated vertically. Representatives of the species wear a yellowish spot on the neck. The muzzles of the coati are colored brown or black.
coati coati
All coats are rare species, listed in the International Red Book. In some countries where the coati lives, laws have been passed to restrict the export of the animal. Take, for example, Honduras. There, nosuh was included in the list of CITES conventions. Violating its provisions, poachers pay a fine and risk going to jail.
Nosoha lifestyle and habitat
Nosoha live within South and North America, the islands next to them. Although in general raccoons also live in Asia. As for noses:
- mountain nose lives in the Andes, which territorially belong to Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador
- coati is found in the South, therefore it is otherwise called the South American species, focusing mainly in Argentina
- Nelson's nosy lives exclusively on the island of Cozumel, which is in the Caribbean Sea and belongs to the lands of Mexico
- representatives of the common species are characteristic of the Northern
Nosuha otherwise than many animals, refers to a variety of climatic zones. Coatis have adapted to both arid pampas and tropical, humid forests. However, most of all, raccoons love coniferous massifs of the temperate climate zone.
Features of the coati lifestyle are:
- The manner of movement, in which the coat rests on the palms, as if pulling the hind legs to the front. Due to this feature, the coati was nicknamed the plant-walking animal.
- Life in groups of 5-20 individuals. Most of the family are females. Before the mating season, they separate into separate groups, reuniting with males in March. After mating, due to their aggressive disposition, males are again expelled from the pack. It is necessary to exclude the possibility of maiming offspring by males.
- Singing ability. Coati are musically gifted, they sing in different keys, imitate melodies.
- Tree lifestyle. Nosoha descend to the ground only for the sake of obtaining food. Coati cubs are also taken out in the branches, building a semblance of nests there. Here lies another answer to the question, why do noses have a tail. At the moments of jumping between branches, it serves as a balancer.
- Daytime activity. This distinguishes noses from other raccoons, which are characterized by a nocturnal lifestyle.
- Territoriality. Each group of noses is assigned a territory with a diameter of about a kilometer. "Allotments" may overlap slightly.
In the mornings, the coats are carefully brushed out. Without doing the ritual, the animals do not go hunting. The coati group is usually divided into two halves. The first is combing the crowns, and the second is prowling on the ground.
Animal nutrition
Coatis get their food with a moving nose. He stirs, flaring nostrils blowing air. The foliage in the canopy of the forest scatters to the sides, "exposing":
- termites
- ants
- scorpions
- Zhukov
- larvae
- lizard
- frogs
- rodents
Nosuha love fruit
Sometimes coati catch terrestrial. They, like other prey, raccoon pinches between the front paws. It remains to bite the victim's head. Not having obtained game, the coat is satisfied with fruits, carrion, garbage from the human table. However, the coatis themselves can get on the table with people. Their meat is loved by the indigenous population of America. In nature, predatory, wild cats, boas prey on noses.
Reproduction and lifespan
In wild nature noses live 7-8 years old. Things are different at home. Nosukha easily tamed and with proper care lives for about 14 years. Coatis reach sexual maturity at two years of age. Attracting males to the flock for breeding, females fanatically lick the wool.
Nosuha cubs
Having become pregnant, females carry children within the group for six weeks. On the seventh week, they leave the family, finding a suitable tree and start building a nest. At the ninth week, 3-5 cubs are born. They are born blind, deaf and toothless.
The length of a newborn coat does not exceed 30 centimeters. The cubs weigh about 150 grams. Mothers take great care of their newborns. Nosoha begin to see clearly on the tenth day of life. Rumor appears in the third week.
On the fourth, the cubs begin to climb out of the nest, learning from their mother the wisdom of adulthood. The brood begins to follow the female everywhere at the age of one and a half months. After another half a month, all milk teeth grow in noses.
Many animals get their name from their appearance, habits, or behavior. In this case, nosuha is no exception.
What does nose look like
The appearance of this animal is fully consistent with its name. The coat has an elongated muzzle, which ends in a narrow, but very mobile and flexible nose. The tail, tapering towards the end, also has a decent length. When moving, it is always carried straight, although the uppermost tip of the tail is slightly curved.
The total body length of this animal can vary from 80 cm to 1 meter 30 cm, with almost half of the tail.
The height at the withers reaches 29 cm. The average weight of the female nose is 3-5 kg, but the males weigh twice as much.
The color of the coat on its upper side of the body is black or brownish with a gray tint, and the bottom is whitish. In addition, white is indicated in the form of spots below and above each eye, on the cheeks, and also on the throat. The tail is decorated with rings of both dark and light shades. It is the presence of spots on the muzzle and the color of the fur that are, in their own way, the only characteristics of the physical property by which other types of coats are distinguished.
The average weight of a female nosoha is 3-5 kg. Where does nosuha live
Individuals of this species have found their distribution in the forests of South, North and Central America, and they can also be found in Arizona and Colombia.
Nosuha lifestyle
The white-nosed nose can keep alone, but no one bothers individuals of this species to gather in a group in which the total number of animals reaches 40 units. One such group may include young males and females, and males who have reached puberty join them only for the period of mating games.
Each male establishes his territory. To mark the boundaries, male noses secrete a secret from the anal glands, which they apply to the surface of a different substrate when they rub their stomach against them. In addition, the occupied territory can be marked with urine. When a stranger invades, defending their site, the noses enter into a fight, using claws and fangs.
An interesting feature of these animals is that adult males of this species can be active not only during the day, but also at night, but the rest only during the day. In hot weather, noses prefer to hide in shady places. When the heat subsides, the coats go hunting. The animal presses its prey to the ground, and then kills it. When hunting, nosukha can make a path at a distance of up to 2 km.
Young people love to spend time in games, and arrange a noisy fight among themselves. When night falls, the animals climb almost to the tops of the trees, thus escaping from most predators.
The sounds made by these animals are quite diverse. They are similar to: grunting, chirping, snoring, as well as screaming and whimpering.
Under natural conditions, these animals can live for 7 years, but in captivity this period increases by almost 2 times.
Nosukha nutrition
The white-nosed coati is called "coati". The main food for noses are small animals: frogs, snakes, rodents, lizards, chicks, insects and even land crabs, but on occasion they do not refuse bird eggs and carrion. In addition, noses also eat plants, their fruits, some parts of the roots, and sometimes nuts. They love to eat the fruits of bearberry, tannic and prickly pear.
reproduction
During the breeding season, which falls from January to March, males join the general groups. They begin to actively fight for the possession of the female. The teeth are shown to the opponent, in addition, a threatening pose is taken - lifting, on the hind legs, lifting up the end of its muzzle. Only the strongest dominant has the right to remain in the group to mate with females. After fertilization, the females kick out the male, as he behaves rather aggressively towards the babies.
Before giving birth, a pregnant female leaves the group and is engaged in arranging a den for future cubs. Hollow trees become a place for childbirth, but sometimes a shelter is chosen among stones, in a wooded canyon or in a rocky niche.
Nosuha's pregnancy lasts 77 days. In a litter, the number of babies can range from 2 to 6. The weight of a newborn cub is 100 - 180 grams. All responsibility and upbringing lies with the female. Mother's milk is fed by small noses for 4 months and remains with the female until the time comes for her to prepare for the next birth of offspring.
After 11 days, the eyes of the newborns open, for a few more days the babies remain in the shelter, after which the female brings them to the general group.
The animal known as coati is scientifically called coati (coatimundi or coat). This name came from the words of the Indian language Tupian - coati, meaning "belt", and mun, which translates as "nose". Nosukha this animal of the raccoon family was nicknamed because of the movable, trunk-like nose. Inside it are sensitive receptors responsible for recognizing odors. A huge number of muscles makes this "process" very flexible, because coati examine natural recesses in search of food with it.
Nose types:
- Nasua nasua (Common nosoha);
- Nasua narica (Coati);
- Nasuella olivacea (Mountain nosoha);
- Nasua nelsoni (Nelson's coat).
Finding photos of representatives of each species is not difficult.
It is a subspecies of the common coat (Nasua nasua Linnaeus). It is distinguished by a narrow head with a flexible movable nose directed upwards. Small round ears on the outside have white rims. The muzzle is brown or black. Slightly above and slightly below the eyes, as well as behind them there are light spots. The neck is yellowish. All the features of this cute animal are visible in his photo.
Short and powerful legs have movable ankles. This gives the animal the opportunity to climb down from the tree with either end of the body down. The fingers have long claws, and the soles of the paws are bare. The color of the legs is black or dark brown. Such limbs provide advantages in climbing trees and foraging in the soil. The tail of the animal is long, two-colored, with yellowish, black or brown rings.
Coatis are good divers and swimmers due to the webbing between their fingers. The noses are very clean, they rinse their prey, paws and tail in the water, as soon as they are on the shore of the reservoir.
The body of the South American coat is from 73 to 136 cm in length, and the tail is from 32 to 69 centimeters. When moving, it is always kept straight, although the upper tip is slightly curved. Height at the shoulders - 30 centimeters. The coati weighs 4.5 kg, however, large six-kilogram individuals can also be found. The entire body of the animal is covered with short, warm and fluffy fur.
Among the enemies of noses, the most annoying cats are cougars, jaguars, ocelots. In addition, they are “not friendly” with large birds. Life expectancy in natural conditions - 7–8 years, and in captivity almost 18.
Lifestyle
Animals are active throughout the day. During the day they look for food, and at night they settle in the trees for the night. By the way, in the same place, in a well-equipped den, their offspring are born.
In general, the noses feel quite free on the trees. There they hide from the danger threatening from the ground, and easily jump from branch to branch if the danger is also “on top”. But coati walk leisurely, move at a gallop for short distances. They do this in a very unusual way - first they lean on the palms of their forelimbs, and then roll forward with their hind limbs. Average movement speed - 1 m per second.
A feature of animals is the various vocalizations they publish:
- chirping;
- whimpering;
- screams;
- grunt;
- snoring.
With their help, coatis communicate.
The fangs of the animal are blade-like, and the molars have sharp tubercles. In total, the animal has 40 teeth in its mouth. Of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to count them in the photo, but the data of animal researchers is worth trusting!
Nutrition
Nosuha is an omnivore. Its menu includes:
Nosuhi are also found in landfills, where they rummage through the remains of garbage. Also can steal chickens from farms.
Nosuha takes biting insects with its front paws and rolls on the ground in order to separate the sting in this way. She presses large prey with her paws to the surface and kills with a bite to the neck.
Way of life
The way of life of animals is different depending on the sex. Females live in groups of 4 to 20 individuals. Composition - several sexually mature females with cubs. Groups are highly mobile, traveling long distances in search of food. Behavioral relationships in a group are complex. Remotely, they resemble the communication of primates. For example, clan members clean each other, care for cubs together, and drive away enemies. There are many touching photos where animals care for each other.
Each family group lives in his territory. Its diameter is, as a rule, 1 square kilometer. Nosuha in such groups are less endangered than individual individuals. To warn about her, the female uses barking sounds. They mark their territory with a fatty secretion secreted by the anal glands and urine. When an outsider invades, coatis will fight using their claws and fangs.
The anal glands are distinguished by a special structure. This is a glandular area running along the upper edge of the anus, which contains a series of bags that open with four or five slits from the sides.
In the heat, noses prefer shade. When it subsides, they go hunting. In this case, the nosukha can travel up to 2 km. Young people spend time in games. At night, animals climb to the tops of trees, hiding from most predators.
reproduction
The lifestyle of males is solitary. They join groups of females with young only for the mating season. It continues October to March. Males actively compete for females. Teeth are shown to the opponent and a threatening position is taken - lifting on hind legs with the end of the muzzle raised up. Only the strongest remain in the group. All sexually mature females mate with him, after which he leaves her. By the ripening of the fruits, when food is the most, there is a period of growing cubs.
Pregnancy lasts 74-77 days, after which 3 to 7 babies are born. At this time, the female leaves the group. She equips a nest in a hollow, where the offspring will be until such time as they can not walk and climb trees.
Newborns lack hair, vision, and they weigh from 70 to 85 grams. Eyes open only by 10 days of life. At 24 days, young coats are able to walk and focus their eyes, and at 26 they can climb trees. At 4 months old, they begin to eat thick food. The female with cubs returns to the group when they are 5-6 weeks old. To keep the young near her during the period of weaning, she "whines". Finally, this happens by 4 months. Up to this point, the coat is nursing the younger generation. Females are considered sexually mature at 2 years old, and males at 3. You can find a photo of a newborn animal on the Internet.
You can “get acquainted” with the South American nosoha in the South American tropics - from Colombia and Venezuela to Uruguay, Ecuador and northern Argentina. The mountain dwells on the eastern and southern slopes of the Andes, however, up to a height of 2500 meters.
Nosuh clan membership and social behavior
What qualities must individuals have in order to be accepted into the clan? It should be noted that it is not always formed based on family ties. True, the “foreign” representatives of the group suffer more often than others from the aggression of its other members. They are forced out to the outskirts of the territory of the group, where it is easiest to be in the clutches of a predator. However, it is more profitable for noses to remain in a group and receive advantages than to be singles.
Unusually, resettlement occurs: females rarely leave the group in which they were born. Males, on the other hand, do this in the third year of life, however, they remain on the territory of the clan. They almost do not protect their habitat, except for places rich in food. Territories of groups of females and cubs, as well as mature males, can overlap by 66%, and only the core is used only by the main group.
conservation in nature
Despite the fact that most species of coatis are not endangered, there are reasons for concern. Nelson's nose, living on the island of Cozumel in Mexico, due to the development of industry and tourism threatened with extinction, and mountain noses are very sensitive to deforestation and human use of land.
These animals are protected by the Sites III Convention in Uruguay. The main dangers for them are hunting and human penetration into their habitats. To date, 10 subspecies of Nasua nasua have been recognized and described.
