Opossum

Didelphimorphia

Description:

Carcass

Habitat:

Mountain road through Sierra foothills

Notes:

A bit morbid but an indicative find nonetheless. Found this guy off the side of the road at the edge of a dirt turnout. The exposed ribcage and fairly intact flesh on the head and back looks like he was picked clean by scavengers.
