Hi Everyone!
So do possums really have a pouch? (Pocket) Yes, possums are marsupials and they do have a pouch. It is just that their pouch is not easily visible as that of other marsupials. Though the pouch of a Possum may not be as big or visible as that of a Kangaroo, it is an important part of their reproductive system.
The female possums give birth to their young that are hardly the size of a peanut. These newborn babies are not fully developed as one would expect them to be. These young and helpless babies have to somehow find their way into their mother's pouch. It is inside this pouch, where they grow up receiving all the nutrition & warmth they need.

The punch has intestinal muscosa?
It makes me sad when I see possums dead along the road because they eat ticks and other bugs. I've never seen a photo of babies in the pocket pouch. and fun pocket views too. I hope the foot is improving. hugs-Erika
I didn't know that possums were marsupials - learned something new! I wish the concept of the pouch applied to humans too - it's much easier to give birth to a peanut than a pumpkin... ;-)
Hugs again, Traude
oh i had no idea that possum have pocket where their immature new born shelter and grow wow Nature is full of wonders
your dishes are soo appealing !
I love the possums. We used to have a family of them that lived near us at our lake house, she and her little ones would come up on our deck at night to look for food (which I sometimes left for her). I always knew when she was there because my dog Izzi would get very excited :) Now the only ones I see are laying dead on the street after being hit by a car ... so sad. Your other pockets are a hoot, like who goes cave diving, and the tooth pockets that the dentist goes probing for with that sharp tool. I like your food pockets, in fact they made me hungry so when I finish this comment, I will go eat breakfast :) I have been missing your FFO ... not because I don't have faces, but because I don't have time to write comments. I know, that's a poor excuse, but I am so busy this time of year. I will try to come, I promise :)
