Tarantulas come out at night to hunt insects and small lizards.  This one had legs that spread as far as the fingers on my hand.

Coatimundis like to eat tarantulas, small snakes, lizards, big insects, and other creatures that live in leaf litter.

The Marmosa was tiny, which is why they are also called Mouse Opossums.
