We didn't know there was a #NationalOpossumDay! Thanks for sharing.
We've found a slightly judgemental opossum in our collections by Edward Tyson. One of his 'Drawings of natural history and comparative anatomy' in his Manuscripts, 1693.
Less curls more claws . . .

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the opossums, for today is their special day!
This woodcut of an opossum was printed in 1635 in the book 'Historia Naturae, Maxime Peregrinae' by Juan Eusebio Nieremberg.
