In this episode, we respond to a call about a skunk that got its head trapped in a dumpster drain! The ultimate challenge will be to safely remove the skunk AND avoid getting sprayed...

Come join us for our Cocoa With Coatis event!

Help place treats and enrichment throughout the coati's enclosure (they won't be there, don't worry!) Then settle in with your own hot cocoa and watch as they discover all the goodies you've hidden. Our volunteers will share the stories about our sanctuary resident coatis while you enjoy the show, followed by a guided one-hour tour of the sanctuary.

Limited spots available. Reserve yours now using the URL below or in our bio. We can't wait to see you there!

Please watch for wildlife on the roads! 🦨 🦊 🐾

For most of us, roads are just simply a convenient way to get where we need to go, but for wildlife, they’re one of the biggest dangers. This fall, and now into winter, our clinic has seen far too many heartbreaking hit-by-car cases. Please help protect our local wildlife by slowing down, staying alert, and watching for animals, especially at dawn and dusk.

We missed World Coati Day yesterday (oops!), but figured it's better late than never. Many Arizonans don't realize we have coatis in AZ! The white-nosed coati (Nasua narica) is the only species found in Arizona. The cute little fella in the photo is a young coati who was rescued after being found orphaned and alone without his troop.

White-nosed coatis range from Arizona to Argentina. The three other coati species are all found in South America: the brown-nosed coati (Nasua nasua), the western mountain coati (Nasuella olivacea), and the endangered eastern mountain coati (Nasuella meridensis), which has only been observed in Venezuela.

At SWCC, you can meet our three coatis on the tour route: Chi, Izzy, and Copper. They are all in permanent sanctuary care after either being orphaned or, in Copper's case, being kept as an attempted pet. Come take a tour and meet them! Tours can be booked at southwestwildlife.org.

Fun fact: Coatis have been observed rolling tarantulas around on the ground to remove the spiders' hairs before eating them.

Giving Tuesday is TOMORROW, December 2nd, 2025! Help us save Arizona’s wildlife, one life at a time. 🌵🐾

Because of supporters like you, we’ve given hope to animals who had nowhere else to turn. 2025 has brought us hundreds of animals, including three orphaned baby coatis, a mama bear and her cub, a tiny javelina was rescued from a construction site hole, and many others who have been released back to the wild where they truly belong. For those who cannot be released, Southwest Wildlife provides lifelong sanctuary.

This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to help us continue this vital work. Every contribution helps provide medical care, food, and a second chance at life for wildlife. It takes a village!

Donate early today by clicking the link in our bio, or by visiting southwestwildlife.org.
