Resumen
El uso de la cola por parte de los marsupiales neotropicales para transporte de material vegetal ha sido poco documentado. Usando cámaras trampa instaladas en la Reserva de la Biosfera La Encrucijada, Chiapas, México, documentamos el uso de la cola prensil para el transporte de material vegetal en Philander opossum y Didelphis marsupialis. Estos registros muestran la importancia de los monitoreos con fototrampeo para determinar conductas de los marsupiales neotropicales poco conocidas
