South and Central American mammal related to the raccoon (5)

I believe the answer is:

coati

(Other definitions for coati that I've seen before include "omnivore?" , "consumer of flesh" , "Flesh-eating mammal" , "Raccoon-like animal of Central and S. America" , "Oi cat ! (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
