The '''opossum''' is a small marsupial from the family ''Opossumus maximus arborealis'' that is known for its ability to hang from trees by its tail. It is native to the [[deciduous]] forests of [[North America]], where it feeds on slugs, red berries, [[thistle]] seed, and sticks. It ranges in length from 13-18 centimeters, has gray fur, large front teeth, and beady little eyes. It also has large ears, which help it hear better than other animal in the world. A common misconception about the opossum is that it is the same animal as the possum, which is actually a completely different animal from the family ''Possumus grandus ignoramus'' and is not at all able to hang from its tail.
