Throwback to this awesome close-up of opossum nesting behavior! Did you know opossums gather leaves in their prehensile tails to use as cozy nesting material? Look at this absolute rock star gathering up leaves just a few moments after he was released. One of our wonderful volunteers released this guy and a few of his siblings on her wooded property in rural Missouri a few years ago. We can't help but share this super cool video at least once a year. | Wildlife Rescue Center

Our opossum moms are doing well. We currently have four in care! Three were hit by cars and one got into a scuffle with another opossum and got injured. All are resting, on pain meds/antibiotics as needed, and keeping mommas stomachs full with some good food! | The Pipsqueakery
