South American Coati - Nasua nasua The South American coati, or ring-tailed coati (Nasua nasua), is a species of coati from tropical and subtropical South America. In Brazilian Portuguese it is known as quati. Weight in this species is 2–7.2 kg (4.4–16 lb) and total length is 85–113 cm (33–44 in), half of that being its tail. Its color is highly variable and the rings on the tail may be quite weak, but it lacks the largely white muzzle ("nose") of its northern cousin, the white-nosed coati. South American coatis are diurnal animals, and they live both on the ground and in trees. They typically live in the forest. They are omnivorous and primarily eat fruit, invertebrates, other small animals and bird's eggs. Coatis search for fruit in trees high in the canopy, and use their snouts to poke through crevices to find animal prey on the ground. They also search for animal prey by turning over rocks on the ground or ripping open logs with their claws. Spotted-tail (Tiger) Quoll - Dasyurus maculatus Mass -average 3.5 kg (high) 7 kg (15.4 lbs) The tiger quoll (Dasyurus maculatus), also known as the spotted-tail quoll, the spotted quoll, the spotted-tailed dasyure or (erroneously) the tiger cat, is a carnivorous marsupial of the quoll genus Dasyurus native to Australia. With males and females weighing around 3.5 kg and 1.8 kg respectively, it is mainland Australia's largest, and the world's longest (the biggest is the Tasmanian Devil), living carnivorous marsupial and it is considered an apex predator. Tiger quolls live in a variety of habitats but seem to prefer wet forests such as rainforests and closed eucalypt forest. Tiger quolls are arboreal but only moderately, as 11% of their travelling is done above ground. Prey items eaten by quolls include insects, crayfish, lizards, snakes, birds, domestic poultry, small mammals, platypus, rabbits, arboreal possums, pademelons, small wallabies and wombats. ________________________________________________

I don't know if coati's have this agility: Spottedtailed quolls leap onto the back of large prey, such as pademelons (Thylogale), and grip with all 4 legs while biting the neck. The bite is positioned with lower canines near vertebral column and upper canines toward throat (Jones 1995). Grasping forepaws, vibrissae on the wrists, and the ability of quolls to reach into small mammal live traps and extract prey suggest that spotted-tailed quolls extract prey from dens or other refuges (Burnett 2000). |

Coati wins IMO. They're vicious, have powerful claws and are potentially bigger. They also have a better skull, IMO, with powerful fangs and a huge saggital crest.![]() The tiger quoll also has big canines, but its saggital crest is quite small... That's the only picture of a tiger quoll skull I found:

Tiger quoll have got a very high BFQ, the second strongest bite of any predatory mammal in the world. "Bite Force - 'Pound for Pound' the Spotted Tail Quoll has the second strongest bite amongst predatory mammals. "Dr Wroe said far from being an evolutionary backwater, Australia had produced a number of the most dangerous creatures ever to terrorise the lower levels of the food chain. "Marsupials are beating the hell out of placentals with the same body size," Dr Wroe said. Australia also has the creature with the second-most powerful bite - the spotted-tailed quoll. "At 1.5kilograms the spotted-tailed quoll can kill a seven-kilogram swamp wallaby," he said. "That's an animal five times its own body mass." They also have a wide gape, similar to its 'extinct cousin' the Thylacine." -> http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9328532/1/ ![]() The coati have got a good weight advantage, but i will not bet on him everytime. |
