What's your favorite reason why coatis make great pets!?

Oh I wish we lived in a world where the sarcasm wouldn't be lost on anyone

As a British person, I could really do with the free dentistry. I'm gonna buy 12 of these guys right now!

Thank you for the realistic video about Coatimundis... there is another channel in here that has gone CRAZY with animal acquisitions. One of "their pets" is a Coatimundi and all we see is his adorable he is... he a baby and he IS TOTALLY CUTE... They have NO IDEA what they've gotten themselves into. Thank you for making this video. Love you guys!

Perfect, I'm convinced! That's exactly what I was looking for, an adorable and untrainable kleptomaniac who I can pet until it tries to steal my phone and I end up with one less nose in my face without the ability of calling for emergency services. Thanks, guys! But, really, this was a really funny video 😂 And a great way to show people why, while cute, they're really reallyyy not pets.

My hubby had 2 Coati’s when I met him. They were 6 year old sisters. We NEVER encountered any of these issues..lol. They were the sweetest little girls, very curious and loved to play. They were never aggressive with anyone. He did raise them from babies so maybe that’s why we didn’t have these issues? They did eat a lot which was costly. Ours loved eggs, papaya, different fruit and veggies, meat on occasion. Best pets we ever had!

"Get out of my butt"... that cracked me up. Lets be honest... they do look cute and can be cute... really cute... but like you said, most wild animals are like that and they can all tear you apart. I stick by Attenborough's rule... "Wild animals are best enjoyed at a distance".

I'm loving the sarcasm. I was nervous when I saw the title. I just knew y'all were gonna get some pushback on this. I love you two and completely get why you made this video. It needed to be said before ppl went out to get some. *do coatis need heartworm prevention as well?

Good message! Exotic vets are hard to find and you pay out the wazoo for their knowledge. One of my rabbits recently had gut stasis secondary to bladder sludge. Two nights at the exotic vet was $3000. And it was caused by her diet. She was eating as recommended but this particular rabbit needed a lower calcium diet. You can do everything right and still have surprises that cost a ton.

"Get out of my butt!" ... now there's a sentence I wasn't expecting 🤣🤣🤣 Bless you guys for saving these little demons! 🤣

I love the comical sarcasm as well as serious facts! Also I’ve seen each of you on other platforms it’s so fun! Good luck continuing the animal sanctuary! I am from NY but if I ever visit my family in FL if you are open or need volunteers count me in! Both of you Must work so hard day in and day out! Thank you and happy holidays!

I enjoy watching how informative you all are but also how much you love what you do

The way you guys do things with you guys animals is amazing and I love the way you guys go about space they need and such is awesome! I wish more people would do the same if they are able to!

Lola crawling across the ceiling reminds me of that scene in Aliens when they're moving through the air ducts😂 This was really informative and I hope it makes people think twice about getting one.💚

funny way of making your point lol. I love sarcasm! Yeah I suppose that is part of the reason you have so many rescues. It is like all exotic pets and reptiles. People don't do their homework and fail to realize how long pets can live, how big they get, how dangerous they can be, no vets, and so many other important characteristics. Thank you for educating us!

It's such a joy to enjoy wild animals variously through your videos! You both are entertaining and educational; I don't worry about being bitten or eaten. Win-win!

Great video ! absolutely appreciate you guys I am a true fan! . Hail Mary to Chris for protecting the jewels 🙌🤣

Those coati’s are OBSESSED with you two 😂

Okay, you guys have convinced me. I need Coatimundis! I will have to sell my 11 snakes and re-home my 2 dogs. But these seem like the perfect pets!

"Get out of my butt! "😂😂😂 Very entertaining way to educate. Adorable but i will keep 🐈 cats as pets!

great tongue in cheek list... beautiful little critters best left to their own wild lives.

When I did Jungle School in Panama, the most amazing thing to me was how you can call coatis out of the jungle. All you have to do is pull out a can of C-rations and a can opener and start opening the can. They will appear as if by MAGIC.

I swear 1 minute in I thought you actually changed your mind 😂😂 great video as always ❤❤

I knew a lady who built an elaborate sunroom attached to her home for her grey fox. But her coatimundi was in a 4x4 foot wire cage with no enrichment at all. Very sad.

I was wondering when I read the title......nice sarcasm. But they are still cute! The noses!!! Speaking about enrichment (again, I know...) I think there are zoos who freeze some fruit or chicken or whatnot in water and give it go them in the summer....

Excellent video guys extremely informative and funny

You poor guys!!😂 This was super informative and very funny!😂 they are cuties! Y’all are doing great with em.

Tyler Nolan got a baby coati, don't know if he knows about the sexual maturity issue. Love the work you guys do!!

Funny video you guys and the coatimundies feisty and absolutely adorable

This is one of your funniest videos! Ya know? I don't have any questions about the Coatis.. This has to do with you guys. I've watched literally hundreds of your videos for many years. I feel like I know you...but i don't. We just see a glimpse into your world but it's always such a joyous glimpse. You seem to have such a great connection...the happy energy you send out to us is not able to be feigned. I'd like to know how you two met and things like how long you've been a "Mated Pair". I'm thinking it's probably a very exciting story like you were on an exotic safari and your jeep broke down and your guide was eaten by lions and you had to survive, just the 2 if you against the wild Savannah.. ok.. i know that's crazy but i really would love to learn how YOU-2 did happen. CYour love for each other can just be felt when you two are doing stuff together, apart, but together. Sometimes there's not a bunch of talking or interacting... you're just there... with each other. It's moments like.. well.. this video about serious stuff in a very fun way. . Chris zigs and Gabby Zags... always in synch, rarely out of rhythm, always at the same tempo. Sometimes I watch your videos not for the gator training or to watch chris feed those yummy fruit bowls that Gabby makes with SOOO MUCH LOVE AND THOUGHT! I watch them to just watch you guys. It makes me smile. Oh man Gabby. I forget to say this. . Your meals are beyond.. nutritious... that would be easy. The time and effort and care that goes into every slice and chopped piece of fruit and variety you put into each and every bowl 2m3,4 times a day! They look, and taste, amazing. I could live on your food bowls no problem. Even the baby food!😅 ok.. that's it. I do hope you catch this comment. I know you have thousands of fans with a bunch of comments. You've answered a couple of mine and I was so thrilled 🎊🎉I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like to hear your story. ❤ so please think about it ok? 👍 bye 👋

4:22 pilot to bombardier, pilot to bombardier, the second the camera hits her we strike.. ready.. aim... 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💀

This channel is very underrated ❤️❤️

I think it was especially effective hearing you say "Ow! God! Why?!" as the Coatimundi climbed all over you. And the fresh scratches. Great selling point for pet ownership! LOL! Great Hilarious video! I've never seen such a stubbornly obsessively curious animal. NO Thanks on a coatimudi as a pet. Great education on adorable wild animals that DON'T belong in a household.

I loved the sarcasm at the beginning 😂😂 Your rooster was in full blast, then the turkey....

❤❤❤thank you guys for this❤❤❤ I love the way you approached this. Cause without saying names, an influencer has one as a baby and is just promoted adorableness and jot the responsibility factor.

That was a funny video haha. I mean even from them crawling over you you can see the potential for injury! I’ll definitely keep enjoying their cuteness at a distance!

Me: "I don't know if I want one of these things...not a fan of Raccoons...." Gator Chris Quotes: "Omg those are so cute, I want one! Get outta my butt! Don't sniff there! Do not dig there!" Me: "SOLD!!! 🥰😎" Seriously, Great vids, you two! I'm glad that you guys are able to make these videos showing how nature is both beautiful and savage at the same time.

Even just having squirrels that should be in the wild, can get hard!! I’ve had to raise them at three different times in life where they’ve been found on the ground and not retrieved from their mom. They were all males and each one, when they reached their “ I want a female” stage…. Could attack and bite others besides myself. Only because I bottle fed them all. Our last one got ahold of my husband really bad and I felt awful. I slowly released each of them when their time came but also had to make sure it was the right season. They r really adorable when they r younger and sometimes we have to help out when there’s no other option. But wild animal’s definitely belong in the wild. It’s not fair to keep adult, wild animals caged up if they can be released. Thank u guys for your education, sacrifice and hard work. Ppl don’t get that when u buy exotics, u rob them from living a life of being free and most end up in sanctuaries, zoos or tossed in the outdoors and aren’t capable of surviving 😪

i watched only the first half of the video but since you recommend coatimundis as pets so much I already ordered 12!

Someone will actually believe you that they make good pets. Thanks for the funny video.

The best sales pitch to never wander down the path to buying, housing or even keeping these animals. LOL.

This video was fantastic 😊 and very informative 😁👏👏👏 you should do a video like this on the Prairie Dogs 😅 you guys are the best ❤

What's your thought on Tyler Nolan getting a baby one? Hearing this info I'm kinda thinking he shouldn't have. And I'm thinking the cage he's in isn't big enough. I love Tyler so I am not hating whatsoever!!! Just trying to see what you say if you see this!!

Great video! I love animals, but there is no way I would own anything more than a dog or cat! Kudos to you guys for your patience and perseverance!

😂 they are relentless! Their enclosure is pretty luxury. ❤

Wish i could open an animal sanctuary, dream job! Unfortunately probably extremely unlikely. I just love the idea of helping them then releasing them, or eveb having embassador animals to show the public ect, that's so cool.

Coati are So Adorable but belong in the wild or a Sanctuary like you both have. Thank you for this very informative video. I went to Mexico on a resort you would see an entire family of Coatimundi come out from the trees they would tell you Not to feed them. Now I know the reason why, because they will Rush you I got to see the teeth yeah they are big and Sharp. Lol..they have a fixation on musk cologne

thanks for the rec! omw to the coati store

They never stop they are constantly moving and into everything

not gonna lie. i am 24 and ive never seen or heard of this animal before. crazy that i am still seeing mammals new to me today. im going to guess that it is a central/south american creature based off the name. reminds me of a raccoon as well

I love their cute bendy snoots!

"They're so friendly!" She says as they nibble on her arm progressively harder.

This really reminded me of people who see baby foxes or fennec foxes and wild cats such as caracals, which unfortunately have become very popular on KZfaq by people who do have them. It's both frightening and sad. You all brought up a point that I wanted to ask regarding your coatis as they mature. I read that when female coatis reach sexual maturity, they tend to gang up on any males in an effort to shun them from their band. If I recall your last video, I remember one of the babies is male. Any thoughts on how you might handle a situation should it arise? Great work and fantastic advice on the nature of these magnificent creatures.

I have never seen this video and you two have me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I ran into these when I was on vacation in the Mexican Riviera. Lots of them were all over this long barrier wall on a side alley to the hotel I was in - looking into the hotel's windows and looking down on all the people walking by. Some people would throw fruits at them to catch from their hotel windows.

“You can’t get them off and that’s especially helpful for when they’re biting” 😂 also omg I never would’ve thought of the period thing, obviously a lot of dogs get a little extra nosey when that happens but holy crap! Sounds like the pet for me!

The absolute chaos of this video. 😂

Well, if you were wanting to make merch, I would totally wear a shirt with a coati on it and the phrase "get outta my butt!"

Y’all crack me up so much!

There are not many channels where you can hear "Get out of my butt!"......Bwhahahahahaaaa

I had a moment of disappoinment when I saw the title. Was relieved and delighted! At the actual tone of the video

Love it!😅

Loved the sarcasm guys, but the message was clear, don’t get exotics. Well done and good luck with continuing efforts on the sanctuary.

Informative for sure! I had no idea they existed and I’m happy to announce I do not want one! Seriously my three cats are a challenge! Thank you for your videos, you guys are fun while learning!

Thanks for the tips. Take care of yourselves.

I would consider animals like prairie dogs and coatimundi to be semi domesticated, sure they’re not fully domesticated like a dog or cat, but they’re also not straight from the wild, and likely to be several generations captive bred if someone does decide they want one, after they’ve done research of course

Great informative video. Thankyou for sharing.

I wanted some vid of Coatis and came here worried you would encourage people to get these animals. While cute and fun in a zoo they really should be discouraged from being kept as pets. To my surprise it was satire. Informative and fun video ! 😂

Hilarious and informative video - thank you!

Definitely the pet I need !!

I once dated a girl that had all these attributes!! I can fix them!

haha I like this video idea, reminds me of the Jack Hanna days, very entertaining and I learned xD

My Mama was obsessed with this animal. Thank goodness she was as only messed up in the head😂😂😂

Gah, I love this video. I'm leaving right now to buy a -coatimundi- puppy!

Love this. Hilarious.

Very creative guys. Thanks

This video had me cracking up 😂😂😂😂. That was hilarious! I hope everyone got the point 😜

Just awesome! Fab content keep it coming (subd) 😊

Great educational video.

Subscribed strictly because that lady is beautiful I didn’t hear a word of what she was saying

All these things sound bad but I still want one

You convinced me, how many is optimal? I was thinking a dozen but perhaps only 10.

Great stuff I will totally get a coatis I want my eyes ripped out of my headLOL

what about Gambian Pouched Rats.. i have wanted 1-2 for years but can't legally get them. Can legally get a Honey Badger.. got any ?

They sound like deadly toddlers

Great video!!

LOVE THIS!! ❤️

Great video as always.😂

i kind of get the feeling they are not good pets after watching this, no clue why hm... :)

I know what you mean. It's like trying to take a bone away from a pit bull, friendly as hell but when food or something it really wants is involved, watch out!

great video

Hope you have a blessed weekend &everyone one else

Get out of my butt 😂😂 I can’t

You guys need to be careful great video

I apologize for not remembering his name. Do you have an update on the alligator you used to hang out with in the water?

♥♥♥

Sounds good to me! I didn't even have to buy my kids... I made them myself.

my fav reason is they will rip your face off. 2nd is possessiveness with face ripping drama backing it.

Chris, have you thought about wearing Kelvar lined shirts to protect your skin? They are cute but after watching this I say leave them in their natural habitat. Their behaviors remind me of macques who take cell phones from tourists and won't give them back until they get a banan or other food item.

Nobody should get any exotics for pets. Period. Its a very selfish thing to do. Nobody should be supporting wild animals in captivity. Its not fair to the animal. Thats exactly why i don't support certain youtube channels that are constantly getting new exotics. Its selfish IMO. A rescue or sanctuary is different...we wouldn't even need sanctuaries if people would recognize they shouldn't be supporting the exotic animal trade.
