The Emilia’s Short-tailed Opossum was discovered by Thomas in 1912. It inhabits Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. It is currently (2003) listed as a vulnerable species.
Very few reportings of this particular opossum species have been uncovered. It is from the Monodelphis family of Opossum. Opossums belonging to this family are Short-tailed Opossums. These possums are usually found on the ground, but have a great climbing ability. They are native to South America.
They are also known as the Amazonian Short-tailed Opossum.
It is rare to find this particular species of Opossum, and thus very little research has been carried out.
