AI overview
The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is a cat-sized marsupial native to North America that is known for "playing possum"—feigning death when threatened as a defense mechanism. It matters because it's one of the most common wild mammals in many North American regions and plays an important ecological role by eating ticks, insects, and carrion.

北美負鼠（Didelphis virginiana）是棲息在北美洲格蘭德河以北唯一的有袋類動物。牠是獨行及夜間活動的動物，約有家貓的大小。牠們分佈在中美洲及北美洲，由哥斯達黎加至加拿大都有牠們的蹤跡，但似乎仍在向北擴展。牠們的祖先在南美洲開始演化，並在300萬年前藉南北美洲生物大遷徙而進入北美洲。
