You will agree with us if we tell you that it does not matter which species you are part of, "A mother is always a mother"!  In any case, if you have any doubts about it, we invite you to watch the video below.

Do you think that a mother opossum's life is easy? Not at all! You just try to look after seven "almost grown" joeys (baby opossums), who do not want to stop riding on their mother's back and start walking alone.

The joeys learn practically from the moment that they are born that they absolutely must keep close to their mother! They learn quickly that only way to follow her when she moves is to cling to her fur in order to keep up!

However, for the joeys, understanding that it is time to walk alone is not always immediate, and so it happens that unfortunate scenes like these occur! Poor mamma opossum! ...
