Brazilian gracile opossum habitats than more purely arboreal animals. It has also been found in artificial plantations. There are no recognised subspecies. Brazilian gracile opossums are arboreal and nocturnal, spending the day nesting in tree hollows. They are solitary animals, with each individual inhabiting a home range of anything from , depending on habitat. Males tend to have larger home ranges than females, presumably because, being larger, they require more food. The species is insectivorous, and is an opportunistic forager, not specialising in any particular kind of insect. Individuals have also been reported to eat some spiders, snails, and even fruit (including passionfruit).
Habitat a zoological monotypic-habitat example; the predators that control it in its home-range in Russia are absent and it proliferates abundantly. Even though its name may seem to imply simplicity as compared with habitats, the monotypic habitat can be complex. Aquatic habitats, such as exotic "Hydrilla" beds, support a similarly rich fauna of macroinvertebrates to a more varied habitat, but the creatures present may differ between the two, affecting small fish and other animals higher up the food chain. Habitat In ecology, a habitat is the type of natural environment in which a particular species of organism lives. It is characterized
