Omnivorous mammal of Central and South America (5)

I believe the answer is:

coati

(Other definitions for coati that I've seen before include "Racoon-like omnivorous creature of Central and South America" , "consumer of flesh" , "Tropical animal" , "American mammal related to raccoon" , "Raccoon-like animal of Central and S. America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
