The white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) is an opossum species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.[3]
It is a terrestrial and, sometimes, arboreal animal, and a habitat generalist, living in a wide range of different habitats. It's an omnivorous animal, feeding on invertebrates, small vertebrates, fruits and plants.[3]
For some time, this species was incorrectly known by the name D. azarae, correctly applied to the big-eared opossum. This led to azarae's discontinuation as a species name.[1]
From 1993 until 2002, this species also included the Guianan white-eared opossum (D. imperfecta) and the Andean white-eared opossum (D. pernigra) as subspecies.[1]
It is the team mascot of Clube Náutico Capibaribe, a Brazilian football team from Recife, Pernambuco.
