opossum

A flea becomes infected when it bites rats, opossums and stray cats that are carrying the disease.

The noises were no stray opossum or raccoon but a man — reportedly naked and, authorities said, living in the crawl space underneath the woman’s home.

Officials said one pair had items that would aid them in carrying out thefts — as well as, strangely, wild opossums.

A beaver’s tail creates a rhythm on the deck and an opossum has a bass fashioned out of a gourd.

Today, there are only three survivors: the nine-banded armadillo, the Virginia opossum and the North American porcupine.
