Midnight Walker on the Fence

An opossum tiptoes along the top of a wooden fence, his nose twitching as he looks for tasty snacks. His round ears stand up, catching every little sound from the nighttime yard below. Long whiskers stretch from his snout, and his beady eyes shine with curiosity.

His furry body hugs the fence, and his striped tail curls out behind him like a balancing rope. The wooden boards show wiggly patterns and knots, making a perfect playground for sneaky paws. It’s a quiet, watchful moment as he moves forward, one careful step at a time.

Fun Fact!

A mother opossum usually has only 13 nipples, so if more than 13 joeys are born, some might not survive.
