*** About Texas Opossum

***: The Texas opossum, or more broadly, the North American opossum, is the only marsupial found north of Mexico. These animals are well-known for their ability to adapt and thrive in a variety of environments, from wooded areas to suburban settings. Opossums are primarily nocturnal and are omnivorous, feeding on a range of food from fruits to small animals. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem as they help control insect and rodent populations. Their most distinctive behavior is "playing possum," an involuntary reaction to threats where they mimic the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal.
