carry them long distances while
swimming on a river or lake, but
when she goes overland they usually
toddle behind her in single file. Baby
opossums are carried on the back
of their mother in an ingenious man.

back. and the eight or ten young
sters curl their tails round that of
their mother; they have to hold on
tightly, for she will travel quickly
through the forest.

the leaves of various trees includ-
