Opossums pick up leaves with their mouths and then pass them to the front feet, then to the back feet, and then to the tail. They carry the bundle of bedding around with their semi-prehensile tails!
This male is lining his bed inside a woodchuck burrow. We also saw a female entering the same burrow an hour later! He seems to be in charge of making the bed and she likes to sleep in (usually leaving later in the night than him.) We’re hoping for some baby opossums soon.
This is why we leave the leaves. Travel For Wildlife
I didn’t know they did this. There was a better video but I can’t find it.
