The creatures look like young long-necked dinosaur species sauropods racing towards the sea.</p>

The 14-second video shared by Buitengebieden has confused Twitter users but some experts were quick to identify the species as &ldquo;Coatis, also known as coatimundis, members of the family Procyonidae. They are diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. The name &quot;coatimundi&quot; comes from the Tupian languages of Brazil, where it means &quot;lone coati,&rdquo; a user tweeted with a description of these creatures.</p>
<p>
Adult coatis&#39; range in size from 33 to 69 cm (13 to 27 inches) in length from head to tail tip. They are about 30 cm&nbsp; (12 in) tall at the shoulder which is the size of a large house cat and weigh between 2 and 8 kg.</p>
<p>
Coatis, like raccoons and bears, have paws that resemble those of a bear or a raccoon, and walk plantigrade (on the soles of their feet just like humans).</p>
