Opossum Clings to a Wiggly Branch

A fuzzy opossum wraps her tiny paws around a curvy branch, holding on tight with a curious look on her face. Wide eyes peek out from her round head, and one dark ear bends forward as she listens for the sounds around her. Long whiskers sprout from each cheek, ready to tickle any leaf that gets too close.

Her long, striped tail curls around the branch like a twisty ribbon, helping her balance high above the ground. Fresh, leafy twigs stretch from the branch, and soft fur pokes out in every direction. She looks right at home in the middle of her leafy hideout.

Fun Fact!

After such a short pregnancy, the tiny baby opossums, called joeys, are born very undeveloped, about the size of a jellybean.
