What is a favorite fact that you like but feel like you never have a chance to share? More than one favorite is also totally acceptable.
The Virginia Opossum is not only the only marsupial in North America, but it also has the shortest pregnancy of all mammals which is 12-13 days (the water opossum of Central America is also 12-13 days). On the other hand elephants have the longest pregnancy at 22 months. When Virginia Opossums are born, they are about the size of an American dime or a honeybee and weigh 0.13 grams (about the weight of 2-3 grains of rice). Virginia Opossums have between 8 and 25 babies per litter, but have to crawl up their moms belly (with only front legs and while completely blind) and attach to one of 13 teats. Once they attach, their jaws lock down till they are about two months old. If a baby is dropped by mom for any reason, she will not come back for them. Wildlife rehabbers can feed baby opossums with a small tube that goes into their stomach due to the fact that opossums can’t swallow at a young age and their mothers teat grows with them and stays in their stomach till they deattach. I have worked as a wildlife rehabber since 2008 and my specialty has always been opossums. I have raised them as small as 6 grams in weight which seems impossible to a lot of rehabbers out there. I will attach some photos. (Oh an Virginia Opossums have a pronged p3n1$ and females have two uteru$’ to support this.)
