While walking around the Tulum ruins in Mexico a "anteater" looking animal came running across the road. Anyone know what it's called?

It's a Coati.

Quite common but really cool animal. It's in the same family as racoons.

Sometimes you can spot them in large groups in the jungle, and it's a really impressive sight.

They are not afraid of humans, and you can get quite close to them. Some people even take them as pets in some countries.

Coati, and if they are used to humans, they can be quite aggressive if you have food around. not unlike the Bali monkeys

Hmmm. When I was in the Yucatan/ Cancun this summer the Mexican hotel staff insisted they were badgers... and warned me not to chase them with my camera again. I tried to pet one... but it ran away...

Thank You. You just made my year!!

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
