The opossum, a marsupial, or "pouched" mammal, and is related to other marsupials such as the kangaroo and the koala. This time of year, you'll see them after dark, or in the late evening, as they forage for food. Opossums live an average lifespan of one to two years. This short lifespan is due in part to the presence of many pred- ators including dogs, cats and people. The nocturnal opossum is attracted to our neighborhoods by the availability of water, pet food left out at night and over- ripe, rotting fruit that has fallen from trees. The opossum in turn helps keep our neighborhoods clean and free of unwanted, harmful garden pests and rodents, which may carry diseases. The opossum has earned the title of "Nature's Little Sanitation Engineer." The best way to keep them from visiting is to have tight- fitting lids on garbage cans, not leave any pet food outside overnight, and to remember to pick up any fruit that has fallen from trees. Opossums can be beneficial for your garden, eat- ing snails, slugs, cockroaches, crickets, and beetles. Some- times they even eat small rodents. Opossums are primarily nocturnal and generally spend the daylight hours in a den or abandoned squirrel nest. Although opossums do not hibernate, they may remain in a den during short periods of extremely cold weather. According to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Com- mission, "The Virginia opossum is a unique animal in North Carolina. In 1612, the English explorer, John Smith, described it as having the head of a pig, a tail of a rat, and being the size of a cat with baggage under her belly where she carries and suckles her young. The opossum is the only native mar- supial in the United States, with traits and adaptations not found in other U.S. mam- mals. The Virginia Opossum is the native to the United States and is seen at night or late in the evening.
