Olrog's four-eyed opossum (Philander olrogi) is a South American species of opossum endemic to eastern Bolivia,[1] first described in 2008 based on specimens collected in 1974.[2] It inhabits the lowland Amazon rainforest, with an elevation range of 150 to 250 m.[1] The species is named after Swedish-Argentine biologist Claes C. Olrog.[2][3][4] It is sympatric with P. opossum, which it resembles.[2] The two species differ in several ways, such as ventral fur color and condition of the zygomatic arch.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
