It carries its young in a pouch on its body, and has thick fur and a long tail. one of various small animals from America and Australia that have fur and climb trees (opassom, from op + assom ). Any of about 66 species (family Didelphidae) of New World, mostly arboreal, nocturnal marsupials. Highly adaptable and prolific, opossums have changed little in millions of years.

It is largely white and has an opposable clawless toe on each hind foot; with its long, hairless, prehensile tail, it resembles a large rat.
