that’s so cool! just did a quick search and here’s what i found:

Newborn opossums are smaller than a dime.

Newborn opossums are so small you could fit 24 of them into a teaspoon!

But you wanna know why?

After a pregnancy of only 12-13 days, the tiny, naked newborns, smaller than a dime, crawl up through their mother’s belly fur and into her pouch. Here they attach to a nipple and continue to develop. After about 2 months the young opossums, now bright eyed and fully-furred, crawl out of the pouch and onto their mother’s back.
