This puppet offers many new ways to play 'possum. Even though he is too large for her pouch, this marsupial Opossum can still carry her baby (a finger puppet) on her back if he "hangs on" carefully with hook and loop fabric. Hook and loop fabric also allows mama and baby to hang upside down by their tails. This Hand Puppet is 13 inches long and includes 7 inch Baby Opossum Finger Puppet.

OPOSSUM (2906)

Opossums are usually solitary and nomadic, staying in one area as long as food and water are easily available. Some families will group together in ready-made burrows or even under houses. Though they will temporarily occupy abandoned burrows, they do not dig or put much effort into building their own. As nocturnal animals, they favor dark, secure areas. These areas may be below ground or above.When threatened or harmed, they will "play possum", mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal. This physiological response is involuntary (like sneezing), rather than a conscious act (like blowing the nose). Adult opossums do not hang from trees by their tails, as sometimes depicted. Our Opossum Hand Puppet is 16 inches long. Click on the image for a more detailed view.
