1. This species is endemic to Colombia and is found in scrublands, cloud forests and moorlands in the department of Cundinamarca.
2. The skin changes color when it senses a threat because it has cells called chromatophores.
3. Some communities call it a chameleon because it mimics the vegetation in order to mislead predators.

Nyctibius griseus
Ghost bird or witch bird
1. They have a thin slit on the upper eyelid, which allows them to see even when their eyes are closed.
2. For dinner these birds prefer moths, beetles or mantises.
3. Although their song has caused fear to more than one, these nocturnal friends just love to control insect populations.
Didelphis marsupialis
Chucha or common opossum
1. It is a marsupial related to kangaroos, koalas and wallabies (which carry their young in pouches and on their backs).
2. When they feel threatened, they open their mouths and make high-pitched sounds. They produce intense odor and fall asleep as if they were dead.
3. It performs seed dispersal functions and is both prey for large mammals and predator of birds, maintaining the balance of the food chain and the populations of other animals.
