Opossum baby taking a bath

This opossum baby is about 2 1/2 months old, one of the seven babies from the earlier video with the mother opossum who was mauled by a dog. He was removed from his mother temporarily for observation since he seemed to be having more difficulty keeping his balance than his siblings, signs of possible brain damage from the dog attack. His balance has improved to near-normal for his age over the last several days, so he's been returned to mom and should be just fine.

Is so absurd that most people think opossums are "disgusting".

This is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen.

I wish we had them where I live.

(I would be the crazy Opossum-lady :D)
