Coatimundis are a rare sight in the city. But this one, apparently frightened by barking dogs Thursday, ended up stuck on a power pole in the 1600 block of West Spring Street, near West Grant and North Silverbell roads. The coatimundi eventually climbed down on its own, said Mark Hart, an Arizona Game and Fish Department spokesman.
