Opossum New York: Discovering Our Unique Marsupial Neighbors
Have you ever wondered about those shy, often misunderstood creatures that sometimes wander through our New York neighborhoods? You know, the ones that look a bit like a large rat but are actually quite different? Well, these interesting animals are opossums, and they're more common in our city than you might think, actually.
These unique beings, so often seen after dark, are North America's only native marsupials, a fascinating detail that truly sets them apart. They carry their young in a pouch, a bit like kangaroos and koalas, which is pretty neat. This characteristic makes them a really special part of our local wildlife
