Yes, coatis are wild animals. They are found from the southwestern United States all the way south into much of South America. I have kept a number of them for a wildlife rescue group and some of the worst animal bites I have received came from coatis.

Are coatimundi legal to own in Ohio?
Coati is the proper name as coatimundi only refers to the lone male in the wild. I would check with the local agencies in charge of dealing with exotic animals to see if they are legal there. Take this advice from someone who has owned several coatis in the past and currently is holding one for a wildlife organization, coatis are wild animals. You can take the animal out of the wild but you can not take the wild out of the animal. They are not domestic animals and do not make good pets. Coatis, especially males, have huge canine teeth and are capable of inflicting serious injuries. Most bites from coatis happen when the human owner does not understand that any wild animal will react instinctively and quickly to any action it considers a threat. The animal has no control over such reactions. What you may consider as a harmless action may be interpreted totally differently by the animal. Simply removing an empty food dish of picking up feces may earn you a trip to the emergency room. Enjoy them in the zoo but do not attempt to take one home.

Can you have coati as pets?
I have held a number of coatis over the years for a wildlife rescue group and the answer to your question is no. While coatis can become friendly and somewhat affectionate, they are still wild animals. They have instinctive reactions that they can not control and humans rarely recognize when their behavior will be misinterpreted by the animal and trigger an instantaneous and violent reaction. I have scars to prove this. Removing an empty food dish or feces from the animals cage can cause a nasty reaction. In most states where coatis live naturally, they are not allowed as pets and considered a protected species.
