In the last years, the interest for the study of the Brazilian fauna s animals has been increasing considerably as a result of the risk of extinction or aiming for the control of the diseases, specially the zoonoses. The Coati (Nasua nasua) is an exclusive species of South America, classified as vulnerable in some states of Brazil. In spite of its large distribution and importance, the data about its ultrasonographic anatomy was not found in the literature. The use of ultrasonographic examination in veterinary medicine is largely disseminated as a way of complementary diagnostic because it offers, as a non-invasive way, information about the organs anatomy and morphophysiology. Although ultrasonography is a largely disseminated complementary diagnostic method in the clinical routine of little animals, there are few accounts in wild animals. The aim of this study was to describe, in a comparative way, the ultrasonographic features and the topography anatomy of coatis liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, ovarian, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, urinary vesicle, spleen and uterus, and establish reference values to measure the kidneys, urinary vesicle wall and the gastrointestinal tract, contributing in this way with scientific material to the ultrasonography learn in this species. It has been used seven adult and healthy coatis originating from the Wild Animals Selection Center WASC, in which it was realized scannings and transversal, longitudinal and coronal cuts of all the abdominal organs being studied. It was verified that the abdomen ultrasonographic examination of the coatis can be realized following the one that is advocated for the dog and for the cat.
