Understanding the predatory behavior of a species is critical to its ecological role. Little is known about the predatory behavior of the marsupial  Didelphis aurita . Here, we present two cases to shed light on its opportunistic nature: an opossum struggling to locate and attack an immobile juvenile bird, indicating olfactory detection and visual constraints, and an opossum carrying a weakened rat that was host of four blowfly larvae. These events reinforce  D. aurita’s  opportunistic behavior in attacking debilitated vertebrates.
