	The tree gremlin, scientifically named ''Didelphis cornutus'', is a rare and enigmatic mammal native to the dense forests and mountainous regions of the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains in the United States. It is actually a member of the opossum family. Despite its fearsome appearance, with distinctive horn-like structures on its head, this mostly nocturnal creature is known for its longevity and intelligence, living an average of 20-25 years in the wild. Early American settlers, struck by its unusual features, often mistook it for a gremlin or a dark forest spirit, but the tree gremlin is, in fact, a harmless and reclusive animal.
