This tiny little beastie from Brazil lives for only a year to a year and a half, which is brutal because the Gray Slender Opossum is outrageously cute. It’s got a tail that’s longer than its body and the sweetest eyes you’ll ever see on an opossum. And, in case you haven’t already noticed, it’s got giant ears!

The Gray Slender Opossum is semi-arboreal meaning it likes to split its time between hanging out in the trees in the Brazilian rainforest and hanging out on the forest floor. They live on a diet of insects and tend to stick to themselves. We wish we had more to tell you about these little guys but keeping this card back as short as their lifespan seems poetic.
