Placing camera traps can become very challenging when there are coatis around. This species is very curious and if the cameras are not hidden, they are able to find them, open then and sometimes even break them!

Leader of our giant anteater conservation project in Brazil, Arnaud Desbiez, captured this marvelous footage on a camera trap. You can learn more about how PTES is supporting Arnaud to protect giant anteaters from extinction: ptes.org/grants/worldwide-projects/giant-anteater-brazil
