Gray Short-tailed Opossum
The gray short-tailed opossum (''Monodelphis domestica'') is a small South American member of the family Didelphidae. Unlike most other marsupials, the gray short-tailed opossum does not have a true pouch. The scientific name ''Monodelphis'' is derived from Greek and means "single womb" (referring to the lack of a pouch) and the Latin word ''domestica'' which means "domestic" (chosen because of the species' habit of entering human dwellings). It was the first marsupial to have its genome sequenced. The gray short-tailed opossum is used as a research model in science, and is also frequently found in the exotic pet trade. It is also known as the Brazilian opossum, rainforest opossum and in a research setting the laboratory opossum. Description Gray short-tailed opossums are relatively small animals, with a superficial resemblance to voles. In the wild they have head-body length of and weigh ; males are larger than females. However, individuals kept in captivity are typically mu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Monodelphis Kunsi
The pygmy short-tailed opossum, scientifically named ''Monodelphis kunsi,'' is an opossum species from South America. ''M. kunsi'' is a marsupial from the family Didelphidae of the order Didelphimorphia. Although it is a marsupial, it lacks the characteristic pouch that is often associated with this order.Hannibal, Wellington, Vlaquiria V. Figueiredo, Paulo Landgref Filho, and Mauricio N. Godoi. "New Records of Monodelphis Kunsi (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) from Brazil." ''Mastozoología Neotropical'' 19.2 (2012): 317-20. Web. 10 Nov. 2016. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. ''M. kunsi'' is considered a smaller species within the family ''Didelphidae'', which is why it is named a pygmy opossum.Anderson, Sydney. "Monodelphis Kunsi." ''Mammalian Species'' 190 (1982): 1. Web. The young are referred to as 'joeys'. The females are referred to as 'Jill,' and the males 'jack'.

Monodelphis Brevicaudata
The northern red-sided opossum or the Guianan short-tailed opossum, ''Monodelphis brevicaudata'', is an opossum species from South America. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil. French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela. Characteristics Body length is 11–14 cm (– in). Tail length is 4.5–6.5 cm (– in). They are red-legged mouse like marsupials that weigh anywhere between 67 and 95 g. There is no recognizable sexual dimorphism between the males and females, though the males are slightly larger than the females. The distinctive feature of the ''M. brevicaudata'' is the short, dense, grey or black fur they on their dorsal side with red fur on the lateral side that continues down to the feet.Unknown''Monodelphis Brevicaudata: Details.''Encyclopedia of Life. EOL, n.d. Web. 01 Dec. 2013. Habitat They are found in the rainforest, typically in mature, secondary rainforest. plantations, or gardens, including the edges of clearings. It is not as often fo ...

Monodelphis Gardneri
Gardner's short-tailed opossum (''Monodelphis gardneri'') is a marsupial mammal from South America. It was named in 2012 by Sergio Solari, Víctor Pacheco, Elena Vivar and Louise H. Emmons. They named it after Dr. Alfred L. Gardner who took the first specimen of this species. Description Collected specimen range from 70–100 mm in head-and-body length. The fur has a Prout Brown to Mummy Brown colour with three distinctive black stripes on its back, reaching from between the ears to the base of the tail. The tail is slightly shorter than half of the head-and-body length. This species, although marsupial, has no pouch for its young. Habitat and ecology Gardner's short-tailed opossum inhabits the montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains in Peru. It was found in dense to semi-open forests or even at the edge between forest and an open sphagnum bog in thickets of dense brush and bamboo. It probably is terrestrial and does not climb trees.

Monodelphis Peruviana
The Peruvian short-tailed opossum (''Monodelphis peruviana'') is a species of marsupial in the family Didelphidae.It is found in Bolivia and Peru. Classification This species was initially described as ''Peramys peruvianus'' by Wilfred H. Osgood in 1913. It was later placed in the genus ''Monodelphis'' and was included under the species ''M. adusta'' (sepia short-tailed opossum The sepia short-tailed opossum (''Monodelphis adusta'') is a species of opossum in the family Didelphidae found in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela Venezuela (; ), officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela ( es, link=n ...) by Cabrera (1958). S. Solari (2004), while comparing and revising diagnoses of specimens of the species ''M. adusta'' with '' Monodelphis ronaldi sp. nov.'', found that ''Monodelphis adusta peruvianus'' was differentiable from ''M. adusta''; having a shorter head-body length but longer dorsal hair than ''M. adusta''.

Monodelphis Dimidiata
The yellow-sided opossum (''Monodelphis dimidiata'') is an opossum species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. They have grey or black fur on their dorsal side with yellowish fur on the lateral side that continues down to the feet. They are the most mysterious of all the ''Monodelphis'' that is found specifically in the Pampean region or Pampa of Argentina. It is suspected to be a once-in-a-lifetime breeder as seen in a three-year observational study of one population in the marshy grasslands of the Pampean region. Maintaining their native grasslands is important for them to keep a stable population. They show sexual dimorphism in overall size: adult males are typically 100-150 g whereas adult females are 30-70 g. Behavior This species displays a rich repertoire of stereotyped behaviors. Postures, locomotion, and grooming seem to be similar to those described for other didelphids. They can carry nest materials using their short but still prehensile ta ...

Monodelphis Glirina
The Amazonian red-sided opossum (''Monodelphis glirina'') is a South American opossum species of the family Didelphidae, formerly viewed as part of '' M. brevicaudata''. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru, where it inhabits the Amazon rainforest. It is omnivorous, nocturnal Nocturnality is an animal behavior characterized by being active during the night and sleeping during the day.
