Move Along. Nothing to see here except these strange new animals

While on our way to the Arenal Volcano, we turned a corner and saw these animals alongside the road. It looked like they were eating garbage possibly. Of course we stopped, because why wouldn't you?

They started coming towards the car as soon as we stopped. Shawn rolled up his window and said, "We should go. Now."

Turns out they are called coati and are (not shockingly) relatives of the our garbage-mongreling-friends the raccoon.
