Wild Bird Fund(@wildbirdfund):We got some brief but very pleasant opossum joey time in the exam room before sending this lost baby off for home care with a wonderful rehabber. This little Virginia opossum was found alone in Central Park, possibly left behind by a busy mom with lots of other babies hanging on. A female opossum can support up to 13 babies (the number of nipples), and she won’t always notice when one falls off and behind. 🎥: Phyllis Tseng
