Little opossum sisters are a pain

These opossums are single orphans from two different litters. One is a few weeks younger than the other, and is trying to climb on the older baby's back as she would do with her mother. Sometimes older opossum babies will bite or injure younger ones not from the same litter, but "big brother" although startled, never tried to harm the younger baby. In the week since this video was taken the younger baby has figured out "mom" is not big enough to give her a ride, and they now coexist very nicely.
