Opossum Rearing Young'Uns In Carroll Gardens

There have been numerous sightings of opossums in Carroll Gardens in the last few years, but today, I caught sight of a mother and one of her little ones.  She was standing on the gated steps of an apartment building on Clinton Street near Union Street.  Another passer-by said he had seen a few babies, but I only saw one hanging onto her fur.
I know opossums  aren't the most cuddly features, but how cute is this?
