Sleepy Opossum in a Cozy Curl

A small opossum curls its body into a fluffy ball, tucked up tight with its eyes closed. Its little paws rest beneath its chin, and its long striped tail loops around in front. Each soft whisker pokes gently from its round nose, showing how peaceful this sleepy animal feels.

Plenty of shaggy fur lines the opossum’s back and sides, while its round ears poke up just a bit. The calm in its face says this is a favorite napping spot. With a tail so long and stripey, and a cozy furry belly, this opossum looks ready for a dream-filled rest.

Fun Fact!

Baby opossums, when they are older, sometimes cling to their mother's tail for a ride.
