how about this one? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/109...
is it D. albiventris or D. pernigra? thanks for the help.
Interesting information! Thanks for pointing it out. I am glad we have both white ears ;-)... According to this relegation I would agree with your ID!
It is a white-eared opossum, but not the white eared opossum. The Andean and Guianan were separated from D. albiventris in 2002. And Awesome spotting by the way.
If it is a young one (what I guess as well), colors might not be so strong yet. White ears, stripe on the head and dark stripe behind the eyes would match quite find. Need to be verified.
