It is known to be "the fiercest fighter of the opossums". The gray four-eyed opossum is a nocturnal animal but can be active during the day. Although it is terrestrial, it is very good at

The average gestation period for the gray four-eyed opossum is 13 to 14 days, and each newborn weighs about 9 grams (0.32 oz). They nurse in their mother's pouch until they are 68 to 75 days old. Once weaned, they stay in their mother's nest for a further 8 to 15 days before their mother becomes

fur, throat, and cheeks are cream-colored. Adults have ears that are black except at the base. Wild specimens weigh 200–674 grams (7.1–23.8 oz), while captive specimens can weigh up to 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb). Body length ranges from 22.0 to 33.1 centimetres (8.7 to 13.0 in) with a tail

Reproduction is typically seasonal, with more young being born during the rainy season when there is an abundance of fruit. During the dry season, fewer babies are born due to the lack of available fruit. Litter sizes averaging between four and five young, with each female producing between two and

With such a varied diet, the gray four-eyed opossum will both encounter and eat venomous snakes. While the bites of these snakes may be harmful to most animals, the gray four-eyed opossum is able to overcome the toxic effects due to its immunity to the toxins. The immunity was initially thought to

Gray four-eyed opossums build nests out of dry leaves in hollow trees, tree forks, fallen logs and in ground burrows. They roll up into a ball while sleeping and although their eyes are actually closed, the white patches of fur above their eyes gives them the appearance of an awake animal.

four litters per year. Many young die while nursing in the mother's pouch. This death rate is especially high during the dry season. A major factor that determines survival of young is the mother's age; there are many deaths when the mother is less than 11 months.

The gray four-eyed opossum has an omnivorous diet containing fruits, nectar, insects, small mammals (such as mice), birds, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, snails, and earthworms. Its diet varies depending on the season.
