playing possum
It is mid-May and opossum babies like this handsome guy have outgrown their mother’s pouch. Opossums are marsupials meaning they begin life in in a marsupium (a pouch) that has the mother’s mammary glands and offers a warm shelter for tiny, newborn babies. Our Delaware ‘possums are related to kangaroos, wombats and bandicoots.
