Pet Botanics Dog Food Roll

What is a Cootamundra?

I was recently in my local Petsmart and a woman was pushing a shopping cart with what appeared to be a large raccoon in it. When i got closer i saw it wasn’t a raccoon but i had no idea what it was. She told me it was a Cootamundra and that was really all she said. it looked like a cross between a badger and a skunk but was very friendly. It had a very long snout and could move it’s nose around while it’s head stayed still. My husband petted it and it was very gentle, the lady said she feeds it Pet Botanics roll dog food and that it lives in a large floor cage almost like a monkey. I didn’t stay longer or i would have asked more, i figured i would just Google it when i got home. I couldn’t find anything on the animal and then a couple of my co-workers mentioned it sounded like a relative of the Tasmanian Devil from Australia. Does anyone one know the proper name for this creature and where i could read more about it?

It’s from the American southwest, a coati mundi. They’re online, just google them.

They’re wild animals, she has to have a permit to have them. No it’s not related to the Tasmanian Devil. It’s a pretty quiet animal, similar to a raccoon but not genetically related to them.
