We just admitted a mother Opossum that was gravely injured by a car, and we found 15 babies in her pouch! Before today, we understood the carrying capacity of a Virginia Opossum’s pouch to be 13. We aren’t saying this is unprecedented. But, we aren’t saying it’s not. All 15 will be raised until they are big, strong, and self-sufficient. Then, they will be set free.
