Opossums are one of the most vulnerable species living here in New Hampshire during the winter months. They must be out searching for food and den up for only short periods of time. Their hairless toes, ears, and tails are often frostbitten. Currently we are caring for 22 opossums here at MWC. While not all of them are here being treated for frostbite or hypothermia, it is all too common for those admitted in the cold. If you would like to help us feed and medicate our passel of amazing marsupia

Did you know that an opossum’s tail acts as a fifth appendage? They can carry grass and leaves for building nests or grip branches to provide extra stability while climbing. Baby opossums can even use their tails to hang from branches upside down. Sorry to say, it’s a myth that opossums sleep this way. Their tails are only strong enough to hold them for a short amount of time. In fact, you can cause severe damage by picking a full grown opossum up by their tail. #themoreyouknow #peacelovewildlif

Do opossums hang by their tails? They have something called a prehensile tail. A prehensile tail is adapted for grasping and wrapping around things like tree limbs. The opossum can hang from its tail for a short time. Some people think opossums hang from their tails and sleep. They don't. Their tails aren't strong enough to hold them for that long.
