As the winter turns to spring in the Northern Hemisphere, please keep an eye out for opossums, which are more active in the warmer weather, especially at night, and the only marsupial in North America north of Mexico.
If you find what you think is a dead or injured opossum, there may be babies that are still alive in her pouch. Please check!
If you find living babies with a living or deceased mother, please keep them warm and safe by calling a wildlife rehabber as soon as possible who is skilled at the tube feeding they need. (Ask your rescuer friends for recommendations and add the rehabber to your phone for such incidents.)
