There are about 60 different species of this nocturnal creature but the Virginia opossum is the only marsupial (animal that has a pouch) found in the United States and Canada. Opossums are scavengers known for going through people’s garbage cans and dumpsters. They are defiantly not picky when it comes to food. They will eat anything from grass, fruits and nuts to hunting birds, insects, snakes, mice and worms. When these animals are threatened by a predator they will “play possum”. They will pretend to appear dead so the predator will move on and the opossum can escape.
