Meet Frank, our charming 3-year-old opossum here at Because We Matter Rescue and Research Center. Frank is not just any opossum – he's an ambassador for his species, spreading love and awareness about these incredible creatures. Frank's tail is a marvel of nature! Unlike the myth that opossums hang from their tails, these strong appendages are actually used for balance and grasping, much like a fifth limb. If you ever encounter a baby opossum in the wild, remember Ashley's golden rule: If they’re at least 7 inches long (excluding the tail), they’re likely independent and should be left where they are. They're tougher than they look! Every like, share, and comment on our posts helps us spread the word about wildlife rescue and the importance of protecting these unique creatures. For more ways to help, visit the link in our bio. Stay tuned for more delightful updates from Frank and his friends at the center! 🐾✨
