FYI, if you ever find a single opossum baby, that means they fell off their mom’s back and will likely die as she has no idea they fell off and will not be able to return for the baby. Call your local wildlife rescue to save a life.

Fun fact, his last name was Pujol.
A la Roland the Farter.

It’s a chihuahua with its head turned up and around.
Here you go:
Turn it 90 degrees clockwise.

I didn’t edit it in any way, I have no idea if the person who took it did. But opossums can be ridiculously cute and photogenic. To me, they are perfection.
Ah, that makes sense!

It’s called the 5-4-3-2-1 technique, and it’s in that order because it easiest to find 5 things you can see, etc. it would be hard to find 5 things you can taste if it was in reverse.
My personal favorite is breathwork, but there are people who get activated/trigged by breathwork so YMMV.
Ocean breathing: inhale through the nose for a count of 5, and exhale through the mouth for a count of 5, without any pause in between. Continue for 2-5 minutes.
Earth breathing: imagine inhaling all the way from the earth through your left foot and leg, the air going to the base of your spine as you hold it there for 3 seconds, then releasing the air through your right leg and foot back to the earth.
Heart breathing: imagine inhaling air from the sky and the earth into your heart, holding it there for 5 seconds, then exhaling out of the front and back of your heart, with the air going to all of your cells.
Basically yes. We even have a local magazine called 5280.

Heeey, I’m currently living in Northglenn. Same, it’s forever etched in my memory.
Great question!
An opossum is old enough to be on its own when its body is about 6 to 8 inches long (not including the tail) (15-20 cm) and it weighs over 7.25 oz (200 grams.)
At this size, they look like miniature adults with long, puffy fur and are capable of finding their own food and surviving in the wild. If the opossum is smaller or appears injured, lethargic, or has signs of illness, it is not old enough to be independent and requires assistance.
