#2025MMM Same&Different category, #Coati vs #FigEatingBat! There are several species of coati in South America and they have very different coloration. The one depicted here is N. narica, the white-nosed coati. The fig-eating bat is a poorly studied, so little is know about it. 🧪🐡🦊 #watercolor #art
Watercolor art of the fig-eating bat, a medium-small sized bat species found in the tropics, and the coati, a South American mammal related to racoons. The bat has dark grey or black wings with light yellow or tan coloration on the membrane between the first and second fingers, and yellow ears. It also has a notable leaf-shaped nose and a spot of white fir behind the year. The coati is predominantly brown with white spots on it's elongated nose and near the eyes. It's limbs are darker brown and there is a striped pattern along its long tail, which is held straight up. These species are part of March Mammal Madness 2025
