I have found a new cute animal I long to cuddle:



Just look at that face! Opossums are great because they have a silent "o" (What else gets to have a silent "o"?) They are also North America’s only marsupial and are related to my Australian friends, the kangaroo and koala. Mother opposums can
carry their babies on their backs .
And, being someone who likes really tiny baby animals, I was awed to learn that at birth the babies are so tiny that 10 can fit in a teaspoon!
