Did you know that an opossum’s tail acts as a fifth appendage? They can carry grass and leaves for building nests or grip branches to provide extra stability while climbing. Baby opossums can even use their tails to hang from branches upside down. Sorry to say, it’s a myth that opossums sleep this way. Their tails are only strong enough to hold them for a short amount of time. In fact, you can cause severe damage by picking a full grown opossum up by their tail. #themoreyouknow #peacelovewildlif

Check out Odin, our Virgina opossum, showing off how he uses his prehensile tail to carry around his nesting material! Opossums will use their legs to push material such as leaves, hay, grass, or other bedding into their curled tail. Their tail also acts like a 5th limb to help them climb trees. Odin is one of our Animal Ambassadors and makes appearances at special events, school programs, and birthday parties held at the Zoo. Have you seen Odin at a birthday party?
