Here we have a Linnaeus's Mouse Opossum from the Amazon Biome in Maranhão State. This animal was photographed during a small mammal trapping study conducted by some of our project members. The mouse opossum is a small marsupial restricted mostly to the Amazon Basin. It is a nocturnal creature that will feed upon insects, fruits, eggs, and lizards.
