Opossum

Opossums are small to medium-sized marsupials that tend to be omnivorous. Physical characteristics include long snouts, a narrow braincase, and a prominent sagittal crest. They also boast a full jaw lined with sharp teeth.

Opossums are usually solitary and nomadic, staying in one area as long as food and water are easily available. Some families will group together in ready-made burrows or even under houses. Though they will temporarily occupy abandoned burrows, they do not dig or put much effort into building their own. As nocturnal animals, they favor dark, secure areas. These areas may be below ground or above.
