BC-363E $95.00

The opossum is the only marsupial found in North America. From nose to tail, opossums are about 2 ½ feet long and weigh approximately 10 lbs with a pointed snout and a hairless, prehensile tail. Marsupials give birth to live young who promptly crawl into the mother’s pouch to continue development. Opossums can give birth to about 20 joeys (baby opossums) per litter.

Opossums are often misunderstood, they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy environment. By scavenging on dead animals and consuming disease-carrying ticks, they help keep ecosystems in balance. As they forage for food, opossums naturally pick up ticks, and their grooming habits involve removing and eating these ticks. This behavior may even help reduce Lyme disease cases in certain areas.
