Patagonian Opossum - Distribution

Distribution

Patagonian opossums occur further south, in Argentina, than any other living marsupial. Although it is distributed throughout some parts of southern Argentina, the Patagonian opossum is one of the least known mammals of South America. Mammalogists have spot Patagonian opossums near Monte Phytogeographic Province, and in Patagonia Phytogeographic Province, yet there hasn't been any records of Patagonian opossum in Central Patagonia which leds Mammalogist to believe that they can only live in the Patagonian steppe. There are two common areas in the Patagonian steppe where these animals are often found- the province of La Pampa, and Choele Choel (north of Rio Negro Province).

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:

    The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
