The Cozumel Island coati population represents a long-isolated subspecies with smaller body size than mainland coatis—a classic example of island dwarfism. Its diet on the island differs from mainland populations, relying more heavily on marine invertebrates and coastal resources. The population is threatened by introduced predators and habitat loss on Cozumel.
