Possums, specifically the Virginia opossum, are commonly found in the Shenandoah region. They are the only marsupials native to North America and are known for their unique ability to "play dead" as a defense mechanism. Opossums are also beneficial for the ecosystem, as they eat pests like ticks and rodents, helping to control their populations. Additionally, they have a low risk of transmitting rabies due to their lower body temperature compared to other mammals.
