Description
Species: Didelphis virginianaLength: 11cm
Width: 7cm
Gender: -
Origin: United States
Info: I traded this skull with Lot1rthylacine and I couldn't be happier. It is not bigger than other Virginia Opossum but it is a lot more massive. The bone grew a lot (look at that ridge!) and the fangs are massive. It had some kind of bone/tooth-infection (last picture) and the tooth points forward.
Fun Facts:
1. It is the only species of Marsupial in the USA and Southcanada.
2. Opossums are omnivorous.

Man! Now I really don't want to be bitten by one of those. X3
I had one in my feed shed a while ago and I didn't see it until it hissed at me. It was about a foot away from my leg, crouched behind a bag! My brother came and shot it, and unfortunately I didn't think to keep the skull.

I heard that they can be pretty nasty if cornered. Is that right?
I usually see them as very cute critters.
