We are preparing a conference on forests and unique nature of Costa Rica and would like to illustrate the diversity of plants and animals. Have a look at the movies in the attachment. It shows probably a female of the Common Gray Four-Eyed Opossum (Philander opossum, Didelphidae). The movies were taken in the province of Cartago at ca. 700 m a.s.l.
Philander opossum is the scientific name. In México, we know that this marsupial have the commun name of "Tlacuache cuatro ojillos", due to upper white dots in its eyes. Is a female and she has a frontal bag where bring on its little babies. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the answer. Just to be sure: are you confirming my taxonomic assingment?
