A possum's pouch is a fold of skin located on the female's belly, resembling a small, flexible pocket. It is typically hairless on the inside and lined with soft tissue, providing a warm and safe environment for the young to develop and nurse. The pouch opens upward, allowing the mother to carry her babies securely while foraging or moving. It can hold multiple offspring, as opossums often give birth to several young at once.
