This morning, saw a huge opossum waddling toward our backyard dead Elm tree..
Her pouch was bulging, and she had one little one clinging on her tail for dear life... By the time I got my camera outta the car, she was up the tree about to go into a hole in the tree... Little guy finally got to her back (and I see an extra tail under her bulging pouch, rear view)...
And she's got about three weeks to find new digs, cuz earlier in the week we had a tree service come and give us a bid to remove the tree... The kids will be much bigger by then!

Some great facts I did not know.
I love them all! Great photos. Sweet...sweet!
How dare you cut down their tree!!!!!
Not often seen in the wild - mostly seen as roadkill - so GOOD to see these !
Great set. I find possums to be quite ugly but it doesn't detract from your set.
Thank you for submitting some lovely photos of an opossum. Very sharp and well composed/exposed. Nice.
