How can you tell the gender of an opossum?

You can tell the gender of an opossum by examining its reproductive anatomy. Male opossums have a visible pouch-like structure called a scrotum, which contains their testicles, located near the base of their tail. In contrast, female opossums have a well-defined pouch on their belly where they carry their young. Additionally, females typically have a larger body size relative to males, especially when pregnant.
