Yep, it sure is. Nice capture
They eat lots of ticks and as such are very beneficial.
They also have long yellow teeth and hiss and drool if you accidentally get too close to one hidden in the branches of a tree you are pruning.

Something I did NOT KNOW!:
"Opossums live in North America, while possums live in Australia and other countries. Both animals are marsupials, but possums are more closely related to kangaroos. ... Without hesitation, you might exclaim “An opossum!” However, another person might call it a possum.

Yes indeed. They get big around where I am. Ugly as sin but good creatures none the less.

Looks like an opossum to me. I have a few that visit my back yard occasionally, to eat the food I put out for a couple of feral cats.
Nice photo
