DN18 must have the munchies! Mr. North brought in some bedding and was digging in the nest when he found an opossum's mandible (jaw). He pulled it out and offered it before changing his mind and placing it back in the straw. DN18, who was watching intently, uncovered it as soon as he left and swallowed it right down (check out the crop action). You would think the peaglet hadn't already eaten five times that day!

Opossums have 50 sharp teeth in their mouths, which is more teeth than any other mammal in the U.S. They are not aggressive and their are omnivores that tend to consume food smaller than they are, at least if it is living. Why all the teeth? We're not sure, but their threat display is quite impressive!
