Q.What is the name of the animal that starts with the letter c, is about 5 or 6 letters long and they had pointy noses with bushy tails. And they were a light brown colour. We saw it in london zoo today but can't remember the name.

A.The animals you saw were brown-nosed coatis. They're a member of the raccoon family & are sometimes known as Brazilian aardvarks. Coatis are omnivorous.
