This is a young four eyed opossum. As you can see, it doesn’t literally have four eyes, but as it ages, those white areas above the eyes become more distinct, thus the name. This is one of the few mammals I was able to photograph on several night walks in Panama. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mmm lens (at 340mm) ISO 500, f/8 at 1/100th of a second

I have added Panama to my bucket list because of your images, Sean. I need only overcome the fact that my bucket has a hole in it!
Mine too, Sue. Or more accurately, it’s overflowing.
