Virginia Opossum
SPECULATEDDidelphis virginiana
North America's only native marsupial, playing dead in Leonida backyards since the Pleistocene.
The Virginia Opossum is North America's only native marsupial and one of Leonida's most common nocturnal wanderers. Their famous 'playing dead' defense is actually an involuntary stress response, not a clever ruse, which makes it somehow more impressive.
