Acredito que esses nomes sejam muito populares e regionais, o que dificulta a busca. Slides de animais silvestres. Não consigo encontrar vários desses nomes na internet, a não ser os nomes científicos. Se alguém puder indicar um site, agradeço. Alguns encontrei visitando alguns sites, porém nem todos os animais estão lá. Conto com a ajuda de vocês.
obrigada,
Renata Costa.

bare-tailed woolly opossum
Searching on cuica, I found that the most common scientific name was Caluromys philander. The English translation is "bare-tailed woolly opossum" or "Philander opossum." The descriptive name is preferable to a euponymous designation.
For example:
... Nome científico, Nome popular. Caluromys philander, Cuíca. Didelphis
albiventris, Gambá. Didelphis marsupialis, Gambá. Philander opossum,
Cuíca.
