Sometimes, someone shows a slide in a lecture of an animal one would just love to get to know ... As Wikipedia would have it, this South American beauty's name "proviene del náhuatl mapactli, "que tiene manos", debido a la ya descrita capacidad prensil de sus garras delanteras" - though one can't quite see this capable, useful hands for human heads. It's like a small raccoon, or a coati (I adore coati ever since I met them at the Iguacu Falls - though come to think of it, I haven't exactly run into a lot recently). Such lovely burglar-stripes around his eyes ...
