The tail measures {{convert|4|to|6|cm}}. They weigh around {{convert|17|to|30|g|oz}}. They have a conspicuous reddish head and brown rump and back. The chin, throat, groin and flanks are grayish-brown. There is a distinct central white streak on the chest and abdomen. Their paws are covered with short, light-brown hairs. Males are slightly larger than females.[2] DistributionThey live in the lowland rainforests along the south bank of the Brazilian Amazon. BehaviorLittle is known about their behavior because of their very recent discovery. EtymologyThey are named after mythical creatures called Saci in Brazilian folklore which wear a red hat to disappear and reappear at will. Scientists named them so because of their reddish-heads and the fact they eluded discovery for so long.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/02/gnome-marsupial-new-species-brazil/|title=New Redheaded Opossum Named After Magical Gnome|last1=Arnold|first1=Carrie|date=2017-02-23|website=National Geographic|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|accessdate=2017-02-24}} {{marsupial-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/handle/2246/6696|title=A New Species of Monodelphis (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) from the Brazilian Amazon|last1=Pavan|first1=Silvia E.|last2=Mendes-Oliveira|first2=Ana C.|date=2017-02-10|website=AMNH Library Digital Repository|publisher=American Museum of Natural History|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|accessdate=2017-02-24|last3=Voss|first3=Robert S.}} 5 : Opossums|Fauna of the Amazon|Endemic fauna of Brazil|Mammals of Brazil|Mammals described in 2017 |
