When I was about 8 years old, my dad's friend told me a hilarious story about an opossum. I told and retold that story for years. It was a little disheartening in later years when I learned that the story, as well as many others he had told me, was only an urban legend. My dad's friend claimed that he and friends had been on a road trip when they encountered a possum crossing the highway. ...

More Opossum Headlines

Didelphimorphia is the order of common opossums of the Western Hemisphere. Opossums probably diverged from the basic South American marsupials in the late Cretaceous or early Paleocene. A sister group is Paucituberculata (shrew opossums). They are commonly also called possums, though that term is also applied to Australian fauna of the suborder Phalangeriformes. The Virginia Opossum is the original animal named opossum. The word comes from Algonquian wapathemwa.

Their unspecialized biology, flexible diet and reproductive strategy make them successful colonizers and survivors in unsettled times. Originally native to the eastern United States, the Virginia Opossum was intentionally introduced into the West during the Great Depression, probably as a source of food. Its range has been expanding steadily northwards, thanks in part to more plentiful, man-made sources of fresh water, increased shelter due to urban encroachment, and milder winters. Its range has extended into Ontario, Canada, and it has been found farther north than Toronto.

How to properly handle opossum fur and prepare pelt

When skinning opossum, be careful around the belly area as it can easily tear. Start skinning by slitting down from the heel of each hind paw. The cut should pass 5 cm (2 inches) below the vent. This is the most important cut, sometimes called the money cut.

Free the back side of the opossum leaving the same amount of tail skin as done on the underside.
Skin down to the front legs and cut the fur free at the wrist. Skin carefully around the neck and cut the ...
