They Are Nocturnal
Opossums are active at night, meaning they sleep during the day and are up at night. They scavenge for food late at night. Opossums do not hibernate during the winter, although they do slow down. They dwell in tunnels made of dried leaves or shredded paper, and fat stores keep them warm. To stay cool in the heat, they lick themselves and spit on their fur.
