ID Notes ³

The Virginia Opossum, Didelphis virginiana, is the only marsupial found north of Mexico. The opossum is about the size of a domestic cat and can be identified by its long head and pointed snout, rounded naked ears, and nearly hairless prehensile tail that is about half of their total length.
