Two physical adaptations of the opossum are its prehensile tail and opposable thumbs on its hind feet. The prehensile tail helps the opossum balance and grasp branches as it navigates trees, while the opposable thumbs enhance its ability to climb and manipulate objects. Additionally, opossums have a thick, grayish fur that provides some insulation and camouflage in their native habitats.
