Opossum

Possum in a pyracantha bush
Possums, or opossums, are the only marsupial still remaining in the United States. They generally come out at night, and frequently raid pet food containers in yards. When the young are very small, they ride around in the mother's pouch. Once they're bigger, they sometimes ride on her back, clinging to her fur.
