Opossums carry their young on their back. When I was a kid I watched one waddle off carrying about 9-10 babys and one fell off. Try as I would, I couldn't get momma to take the baby, so I raised it, and it was a very friendly pet for 5-6 years. She would purr like a cat when she sat in your lap. Their fur is very soft. My wife always hated them bec ause of their rat like tail, but she has her favorite that lives in a window well.
