It is a species restricted only to moist forests. Just like any other member of the ''[[Caluromys]]'' [[genus]], the Bare-tailed Woolly opossum is a strongly [[arboreal]] species of [[marsupial]], differing from other [[Didelphidae]] opossums for having a comparatively large [[encephalization quotient]] and smaller litter size. It feeds on fruits, nectar, invertebrates and small vertebrates. ==References== * {{IUCN2006|assessors=New World Marsupial Specialist Group|year=1996|id=3649|title=Caluromys philander|downloaded=11 May 2006}} *John F.
