📝 Quick summary of key information

What is a coati and how does it use its nose to find food?

The coati is a small, curious, and agile mammal. It has brownish-red fur and a long, ringed tail that it uses like a broom to chase away bugs. It is about 60 cm long, not counting its tail.

Coatis live mostly in the rainforests of Central and South America. They love to climb trees and explore the forest floor looking for food.

The coati uses its pointy nose to sniff the ground and find insects, fruits, and small animals. It can even move stones or leaves with its snout to discover hidden treasures.

Coatis are very helpful in their environment. By eating insects, they help control their numbers. They live in groups called bands, led by a dominant female.

Coati Coco and the Hide and Seek Game

What is a coati and how does it use its nose to find food?

Coati Coco's Discovery

After watching Chameleon Carlos change colors, Jojo and Jolie head towards the heart of the tropical(1) forest. They are amazed by the reptile(2)'s transformations(3), which explained the importance of camouflage for protection in the jungle. As they explore, they hear digging sounds and sniffs. Curious, they follow the noise and discover Coati Coco, their curious friend, searching for something with her very strong(4) nose.

Jojo, curious, asks:
« What are you doing, Coati Coco? »

Coati Coco, while sniffing around, says:
« I am looking for food. My nose is very strong. »

Jolie, curious, asks then:
« We want to help. What are we looking for? »

Coati Coco, while continuing to sniff the ground, says:
« Ripe fruits, insects, or water. Follow me. »

Not long after, they find hidden treasures. Coati Coco sniffs the ground and the trees. Jojo and Jolie try too. They find fruits and insects. Coati Coco explains that her nose can detect(5) smells up to 20 meters away.

A funny story about Coati Coco's discoveries is then told, encouraging the young monkeys to develop their sense of observation and curiosity.

Hide and Seek

Coati Coco then tells a funny story about the jungle animals, where she talks about birds finding berries with their beaks. Jojo and Jolie listen carefully, intrigued by their friend's discoveries. They want to learn more about the jungle and develop their observation skills.

Jojo, curious, asks:
« How do birds find berries? »

Coati Coco, with her bright and curious eyes, explains:
« Birds see colors. They do not smell scents. »

Jolie, after listening carefully, says:
« We want to learn to see like you. »

Coati Coco, with a mischievous smile, says:
« I'm going to teach you something. Close your eyes. Take a big breath. »

The little monkeys close their eyes. They breathe deeply. They smell the flowers and the leaves. They hear the birds singing. They discover new scents. They open their eyes. They are happy.

After opening their eyes, the young monkeys are amazed by everything they have discovered. They can't wait to share their new knowledge. Coati Coco, Jojo, and Jolie continue to explore the jungle, using their senses to find new scents and hidden treasures. They learn that every animal has unique abilities(6) to survive and explore. By the end of the day, it is decided to go back to the Tree Village, tired but happy with their discoveries. On the way, a strange(7) noise is heard. Curious, it is decided to follow the sound, ready for a new adventure. Maybe another secret of the rainforest will be discovered.
