Abstract

Sight records and anecdotal records of the nonnative Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) in Baja California date back to the 1960s, but the species has not been reported in the state since 1997. We document specimen and photographic records from the La Misión area, between Tijuana and Ensenada, and predict the species will continue to expand its range southward as development continues along the coast of Baja California.
