Opossum Parade Through the Meadow

Mama opossum steps carefully over the soft grass, her nose twitching and her ears perked tall. Five tiny opossum babies grip her furry back, each one looking out with round eyes and curious whiskers. The babies’ tails wrap around Mama or dangle as she carries her little explorers along for the ride.

Tall leafy plants wave in the background, and heaps of pebbles and tufts of grass peek up from the ground. Every opossum seems busy watching the world, ready for whatever wiggly bug or whispery breeze rushes by. This meadow walk looks gentle, filled with soft fur and quiet, busy paws.

Fun Fact!

Opossums have unique footprints, with their widely spread toes and the distinct impression of their hind opposable thumb.
