The Cozumel coati (Nasua narica nelsoni) is a subspecies of the white-nosed coati, [40] but the raccoon is still classified as a distinct species, the Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus). [41] The Cozumel fox, related to the mainland gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), has yet to receive a scientific name. [39]
Species range in size from around 30–65 cm (12–26 in) long, plus a tail generally as long again.

No procyonid species have been domesticated, although raccoons are ...

Coati females will form bands of 4 to 24 individuals that forage together, [7] while kinkajous have been found to form social groups of two males and one female. [8] Certain procyonids give birth to one offspring like ringtails, olingos, and kinkajous while raccoons and coatis give birth to litters that range in size from 2 to 6 offspring.
