Gambá

The possum or opossum is a marsupial mammal that inhabits from the south of the United States to South America. It is one of the largest marsupials of the didelphidae family. It belongs to the genus Didelphis. They are omnivores. In nature, they have as the main predator the wild cat, while in cities they are often run over by their sight dimmed by the headlights and because they have little mobility except in the trees. They are sometimes confused with the kangaroo, which, though similar, is not a marsupial, but a mustelid.

O gambá ou opossum é um mamífero marsupial que habita desde o sul dos Estados Unidos até a América do Sul. É um dos maiores marsupiais da família dos didelfídeos. Pertence ao gênero Didelphis. São onívoros. Na natureza, têm, como principal predador, o gato-do-mato, enquanto que, nas cidades, são, frequentemente, atropelados por terem a visão ofuscada pelos faróis e por terem pouca mobilidade – exceto nas árvores. São, por vezes, confundidos com o cangambá, que, embora semelhante, não é um marsupial, mas um mustelídeo.
