When we think Marsupials, we think Australia and we think Kangaroo or Koala! This is a Opossum found in the Americas. There are 110+ Subspecies.
The gestation period of a female opossum is 12 to 14 days .
They give birth to 20 young but only those that are able to teat survive
When threatened or harmed they will “play possum” making the appearance of a sick/ dead animal!
