Hanging Out With a Playful Opossum

A fuzzy opossum dangles upside down from a sturdy tree branch, his curly striped tail wrapped tightly above. His bright eyes shine with mischief as tiny paws grip the bark, ready to swing or scramble. Whiskers poke out on both sides of his round face, and soft ears perk up, listening for the quiet sounds of the woods.

Gentle leaves frame the top of the branch, adding a splash of nature above his head. Each fluffy patch of fur looks ready for some wild colors. This bushy fellow brings a spark of fun, inviting kids to bring the scene to life with every crayon stroke.

Fun Fact!

After leaving the pouch, young opossums will often ride on their mother's back, clinging tightly to her fur, for several more weeks.
