Opossums

Because the babies are larger, theres always a chance of babies falling off when mom is released after rescue. So one of the rehabbers with Evelyns Wildlife Refuge will be keeping her in care for a little bit to let the babies grow while mom raises them in peace.

They are born at around 12 days gestation. Notice that there hind legs and their tails isn't even separated from their bodies yet. They are born without placenta or umbilical cords. They are basically in an embryonic state.

Other than I don’t drink, this is spot on.
