FlaSoxxJim Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Cretaceous divergence from a more ancestral South American marsupial line is the likely origin of our North American opossum, Didelphis virginiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 28, 2009 -> 07:04 PM) How long is the average possum lifespan? Meh, I'm leaving the information below because it is good stuff. Longevity is not a trait of the species, and they are stunningly short-lived compaed to mammals of comparable size. They only live for two or three years, grow and mature rapidly, reproduce and then rapidly enter senescence.
