I've heard that, about coatimundis being good eating. Wouldn't think it from looking at them. Apparently echidnas are good too, tribes in Africa also eat those any chance they get.
Huh. Ya learn something every day! Here was me, thinking that the Tuatara was the only lizard with a vestigial third eye on top of it's head!
I might have to pass on the echidna - I dunno how I'd ever get one peeled!
