Opossums
Opossums are a common sight in my Arkansas photography. I document these adaptable marsupials. I capture their nocturnal foraging and “playing possum” behavior. I observe their role as scavengers and their impact on the ecosystem. I aim to show their resilience and importance in controlling pests. Their adaptability is remarkable.
