Raccoonlike animal in South America (5)

I believe the answer is:

coati

(Other definitions for coati that I've seen before include "wild animal" , "Flesh-eating mammal" , "American denizen" , "S. and Central American raccoon-like animal" , "Kind of raccoon" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
