activity
Activity patterns. Panama Mouse Opossums are nocturnal and seem to be active right after sunset, although they may start foraging before dark. Some specimens were captured when they were already foraging at dusk, suggesting they left their dens earlier. Others were captured between 16: 00 h and 21: 00 h.
