An aquatic opossum of tropical America having webbed hind feet and a long tail.
I discovered this little animal when I was browsing by dictionary for a word for today.
This little guy happens to be the only aquatic marsupial. It is solitary and nocturnal. The females have a mechanism that seals their pouch so they can still swim with their babies. If you look at the top picture, you can easily see that their front feet have “fingers” while their back feet are webbed. This is the only animal I’ve ever seen with a combination like that!
