The search for the reported coatimundi started with an action that reminded me of the days living in southwestern Pennsylvania searching the wood's edge for deer. Every branch was a suspect! I knew what I was looking for when the target was deer, but I had no idea what a coatimundi was.
"It's like a raccoon."
"You will know it when you see it." (Great, is it going to jump at me or something?)
We drove around for a while in our search. It's not here, it's not there, I'm jinxed, etc. Then, all of a sudden, there it was! It didn't run off right away so I was able to take a few "yes, I did really see one" photographs. It was like a raccoon. And I did know that this was it as soon as I saw it.
