Olingos and kinkajou aren't especially striking in appearance which might be why. Coati are pretty popular around here, though. This is probably the first time I've ever seen the ringtail mentioned on this site, though.
Procyonids (aka, raccoon family)

Unfortunately, yes. They are very striking animals, though. But I suspect that if we were to get any of these it'd be the raccoon or the coatiThis is probably the first time I've ever seen the ringtail mentioned on this site, though.
I'd bet money on the coati. It probably checks more boxes for Frontier - reasonably popular, an excuse to expand on South America, and more 'exotic' to a wider audience.
That excludes me. I'd be happy with either.
I'd love to see some sort of procyonid representation in Planet Zoo - I'm erring towards the white-nosed coati, which has a broader range of biomes including desert, temperate and tropical. At the same time, getting the ring-tailed coati and North American raccoon would also make me rather sad, since the new invasive species laws in Europe mean that in the future both species will disappear from zoos.
