North American Opossum - Didelphis virginiana
My husband spotted this cute opossum "guarding" garbage dumpsters last night! At first he thought it was an "ugly" cat, haha. He ran home to tell me, and I went right out to get some shots of it. It just sat there calmly and watched me...
Habitat: Apartment complex garbage dumpster in a rural area.
