Saving Opossum Babies From Deceased Mother's Pouch

Occurred on May 28, 2022 / Largo, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: "My wife and I woke up to a dead opossum in our walkway outside the front door. Upon further investigation, we discovered that she had babies in her pouch. We had to act fast to save the opossum babies, so I put on a pair of gloves to handle them and my wife had to cut them free as they had been sucking on a dry nipple for an unknown amount of time. It was a very traumatic experience but all 6 babies ended up living and making it till we dropped them off with a w ildlife rehab and rescue facility."
