Which Biome Do Opossums Live in?

Ecology. Opossums live in forested or brushy habitats, but they have adapted well to living close to people in cities and suburbs. Opossums will den nearly anywhere that is dry, sheltered and safe. This includes burrows dug by other mammals, rock crevices, hollow stumps, wood piles and spaces under buildings.

Do possums live in the rainforest?

Where do possums live in the forest?

They're common to wooded areas but prefer to live along the outskirts of the treeline close to a stream or other source of running water, rather than in the deeper parts of the forest. As well as nesting in trees, opossums may also set up forest dens in brush piles, fallen hollow logs, or even rock crevices.
