Raccoon relative (5)

I believe the answer is:

coati

'raccoon relative' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for coati that I've seen before include "American denizen" , "omnivorous mammal" , "wild animal" , "omnivore?" , "Tropical animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal and The New York Times.
