Opossum in Arizona

Recommended Posts

I didn't know we had them in Az but heard that was not the case. Photos? Where are they?

Friend thought Amanda might have on her owl survey down south, but I'm not sure where, also found some really old posts on this site. More curious about some pic's, in Arizona, than anything else.

I've seen at least one - I can remember - at my inlaws by Williams - dog was barkin up a storm at a drain/metal corrugated pipe under the driveway. thought it was the usual a skunk - I got surprised by a hissin opossum

 

they are a very nocturnal animal - no surprise not many are seen

yes, we treed one the other night doing owl surveys. It's the Mexican subspecies of the Opossum. it's darker than the opossum you see in other parts of the US. First one I have seen alive!

 

They mostly are restricted to South of Tucson.
