![]() About the Opossum
The Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial found in North America north of the Rio Grande River. A solitary and nocturnal
animal about the size of a domestic cat, it is a successful opportunist and is found throughout North America from coast to
coast When threatened or harmed, they will "play possum", mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal. The
lips are drawn back, teeth are bared, saliva foams around the mouth, and a foul-smelling fluid is secreted.
