Opossums are small, nocturnal marsupials that are found in North and South America. They are the only marsupials that are native to the United States. Opossums are opportunistic omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, insects, and small animals.
Opossums are often considered to be pests, but they can actually be beneficial to humans. They help to control rodent populations and they are also known to eat ticks and fleas. Opossums are also immune to rabies, which makes them a valuable asset in the fight against this deadly disease.
