* Opossums are native to the Americas, primarily in the southern and eastern parts of the United States.
* They are not found naturally in Canada.
While there have been some anecdotal reports of possums being sighted in Canada, these are likely isolated cases of escaped pets or animals that have been transported unintentionally.
The closest relative to a possum found in Canada is the Virginia Opossum, which is only found in the southernmost parts of Ontario.
