Common Opossum
Didelphis marsupialis
Arenal, Monteverde and the Osa Peninsula are among the five atlas places where the Common Opossum is recorded. Records concentrate most in Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico, with others in Brazil and Venezuela. The atlas holds 2,218 records of Didelphis marsupialis from 20 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Because records occur in both hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Opossum as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
