The Virginia Opossum uses death feigning as a defense mechanism. Well, that is, wild opossums use it as a defense mechanism. Rosaleigh, our animal ambassador, liked to use it to scare us sometimes.

Meet the Virginia Opossum - North America’s only marsupial! These fascinating creatures have a special pouch where mothers carry and care for their young.

From tiny babies whose eyes haven’t ev
