The creature arrives with a name: coati.
Google says it’s a coati, native to South America, Mexico, and Southwestern U.S. Commenters think it’s a ringtail cat or a Pokémon. The coati is actually a small mammal with a pointy muzzle, long fluffy tail, and reddish brown fur. It’s highly adaptable, but considered endangered in Texas. Some people keep them as pets, but it requires a lot of work.
The coati’s Instagram-worthy appearance is just a bonus – it’s actually a highly adaptable creature that can thrive in rainforests, grasslands, or even mountain slopes.
