New, but he does have some flaws. There is a spot on his Tummy that the hair is very thin, it can be seen as a lighter spot on his belly. The tail is a bit rough and but is all there. Looks like he needs a little touch up paint on nose and mouth. Nose is a form with a little bit of clay between the form and skin. Again, not perfect but a nice large mount. Discounted due to flaws.
The egg will be shipped in a separate box and just needs to be placed in the hands. If the egg breaks in transport you will just need to replace with a large egg shell from breakfast!

Species and fun facts: Didelphis virginiana
Virginia opossum
Animal
Description: The Virginia opossum, commonly known as the North American opossum, is a marsupial found in North America. It is the only marsupial found north of Mexico. In the United States, it is typically referred to simply as a possum. It is a solitary and nocturnal animal about the size of a domestic cat.
The breeding season for the Virginia opossum can begin as early as December and continue through October with most young born between February and June. A female opossum may have one to three litters per year. During the mating season, the male attracts the female by making clicking sounds with his mouth. Like all female marsupials, the females reproductive system is bifid: with two lateral vaginae, uteri, and ovaries, and the small (comparable to a dime at birth) young are delivered through a birth canal known as the median vagina that forms shortly before birth. The male's penis is also bifid, with two heads, and as is common in New World marsupials, the sperm pair up in the testes and only separate as they come close to the egg. It is common for 20 or 30 young to be born (and even as many as 50), but the female only has 13 teats, arranged in a circle with one in the center, so only the first 13 may survive. An average litter is eight or nine joeys, which will reside in their mother's pouch for about two-and-a-half months, before eventually climbing on her back. They leave their mother after about four or five months
