Although there can easily be 13 babies in one litter, there are always little differences that make each individual unique. For example, notice the color variation between these guys even though they are from the same litter! | WildCareOklahoma | Facebook

Smily our female opossum gave birth a few weeks ago. When the baby opossum are born they are as big as a pea. Upon birth the mother will wetten the fur with her tongue from where the babies came out to her pouch. The babies will then swim up that furry river and enter the pouch and then attach to one of her eleven to thirteen nipples.There they will stay and suckle for three weeks. These little ones have grown to the size of a baby mouse and in a week or two will be hanging on moms back. Make su
