Opossums, the Marsupial Evolutionary Wonder of America

Opossums are America’s only marsupial and while they may not be the cuddliest critters, they are an evolutionary wonder. Hosted by Ed Clark, Untamed takes you behind the scenes of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, where diagnosing and treating the injuries of its patients is just the beginning of the Center’s investigative and conservation work. The team also strives to identify and address the threats and hazards that cause harm to wildlife in the first place—issues ranging from illegal human activities to environmental contamination to emerging wildlife disease.
