I got a nice photo of some opossum tracks this afternoon.

The front foot track is the one that looks like a large asterisk. It’s on top.
The hind foot track is the one that looks like an open hand. The hind feet have opposable thumbs that are used to grip branches. They can also grip with their front feet, but their opposable thumbs on their hind feet are unique among animals in this part of North America. No other native species has this feature.
