Read MoreCoatimundi | Lordsburg, New Mexico | March, 2010
We came across a group of some 20 female and juvenile coatimundi. They had become funneled in a small group of trees between a river and the dirt road where we were parked. This picture was taken of the dominant female of the group. She would repeatedly climb up between these two trees and display in this aggressive fashion which served as a distraction while the juveniles in the group climbed into the trees for safety. When she felt the juveniles were safe, she stopped the behavior. MC19-0039
