Take Note:
It is forbidden to feed the animals as this alters theier natural behaviour and harms them. The "Coatíes" around the falls have taken advantage of visitors ignorance or this and become habituated to begging or even stealing from hand, bags with threats and aggression. Be very careful, when eating, that no "Coatíes" are near specially so when children are around. Your cooperation in this respect will help us cut this unnatural behaviour which the "Coatíes" have learned. DON NOT FEED THEM.
