It's a snuggly day for our Virginia opossum, Hubble! Opossums are nocturnal. To avoid predators, they find fortified dens, like small burrows, tree stumps, and wood piles. Though they spend most of the day sleeping, opossums sometimes search for food during the day. You can find Hubble curled up in his favorite napping spot or climbing up his habitat in My Big Backyard. | Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Smily our female opossum gave birth a few weeks ago. When the baby opossum are born they are as big as a pea. Upon birth the mother will wetten the fur with her tongue from where the babies came out to her pouch. The babies will then swim up that furry river and enter the pouch and then attach to one of her eleven to thirteen nipples.There they will stay and suckle for three weeks. These little ones have grown to the size of a baby mouse and in a week or two will be hanging on moms back. Make su

Richard is opossum-bly cute Opossums are the only marsupials in North America and get a pretty bad rap. These solitary, nocturnal beings are harmless to humans and are important to keeping the environment healthy. A single opossum can eat 5,000 ticks in a year, thus protecting other wildlife (and humans) from tick-borne diseases. | San Diego Zoo

Richard is an awesome opossum Ever heard the phrase, "playing possum?" For an opossum, this is a catatonic defense mechanism in the face of danger. It is completely involuntary and makes them appear sick or dead. It's more like fainting from fear than pulling a prank on a potential predator. You won't be seeing Richard in a haunted house anytime soon. | San Diego Zoo

Look at those opossum feet! 🐾 💡 Did you know that opossums, like their marsupial relatives Koalas, have opposable thumbs! For opossums, these thumbs are specifically on their hind feet. This, along with their prehensile tail, helps them climb and hold branches! | Fort Worth Zoo

Meet Hazel, our adorable year and a half old opossum! 🥰 Hazel is training to be an ambassador animal, where she'll start coming out and meeting Zoo guests. Hazel will be educating people about the importance of local wildlife and also dispelling myths about opossums, who are actually very beneficial animals to have around. Hazel eats a lot of different things, but some of her favorite foods are wax worms, boiled egg, grapes, and cooked sweet potato! | Audubon Zoo
