Momma Opossum hit by a car with 6 babies clinging on for life

On Tuesday, a Virginia Opossum was rescued by a caring resident after she was found hit by a vehicle. She had 6 adorable babies clinging to her. Mama’s in recovery right now with trauma to her face and head and a damaged eye. Meanwhile, when the rehabbers were administering mama fluids yesterday and the babies were curled up a foot away from mom, one baby came running back to mama and hid in her fur…and we couldn’t resist the cuteness!
