Possums, particularly species like the Virginia opossum, are known for carrying their babies on their backs once they outgrow the pouch. After spending the first weeks of life inside the mother’s pouch, the young cling to her fur as she moves around, staying safe and close to her. This behaviour ensures their protection while allowing the mother to forage and navigate her environment. It’s a fascinating and endearing adaptation for raising their young.
