Whiskers and Wiggly Nests

An opossum peeks out from a cozy tangle of vines, her round eyes shining with curiosity. She stretches her furry paws forward, her little nose pointing straight ahead, ready to sniff any tasty snacks. Every whisker sticks out from her soft face, and tufts of fur line her cheeks and shoulders.

Thick curls of branches and twigs wind all around, wrapping her up like a gentle hug. Each little claw looks ready to grab onto her favorite treat or hang from a friendly tree. This opossum brings a nest full of surprises to life, just waiting for splashes of color.

Fun Fact!

An opossum can use its strong tail for balance when climbing, and sometimes even for carrying small bunches of leaves or nesting materials!
