For those who don't know, I made a bunch of "bat facts" graphics for my bat community (see examples here) - should I do the same for this community? As you all know, I love me some opossums, so I'll happily do the research and everything.

I have about five who live nearby and they visit my yard nightly. I have both a bird feeder that they rummage beneath but I also throw all my food scraps out there. They spend a few hours here in total but take turns with skunks, raccoons and house cats. Last night was the first time my camera caught both a raccoon and cat at the same time in a tense standoff for chicken scraps.
