They have fifty-four teeth. They may be found almost any where. They are whitish-gray. Their noses are always wet because they give off oil. Here are some of the places they can be found, in trees, in the road, and in trash cans.
Opossums have a good way to survive.
When they sense danger, such as raccoons, great horned owls, minks, fox and coyotes, the opossum quickly acts dead. It lets out a bad odor too that some animals do not like. When the opossum acts dead, the other animal loses interest in it. They leave it alone. This is their way of surviving.
