crassicaudata

Updated: June 1, 2026

This animal Didelphys crassicaudata has a long slender, wedge-, shaped head and body, admirably adapted for pushing through the thick grass and rushes; for it is both terrestrial and aquatic, therefore well suited to inhabit low, level plains liable to be flooded.
