#wraarchives we love possums! Not only are they North America's only native #marsupial, they also take care of your garden's slug problem and are #nocturnal so you rarely see them. When you do see them, they're more likely to #playpossum than to bite. #wildliferescue #WRA #bc #cuteugly #baby #wheresmypouchat

#wraarchives the male red crossbill we treated last year. His arrival caused improvement in the condition of a female who arrived several days before him suffering from head trauma. Since crossbills are flock birds, they don't tend to eat when they are alone, though supplying them with a mirror friend often helps. #paulsteevesphotography #wildlife #nature #wildliferescue #WRA #bc #burnaby #songbird

Virginia Opossum #155379 was stuck in a compost container in Delta. Luckily he has no major signs of injury. He is being treated for fleas and will hopefully go home soon. These guys aren't seen very often in #britishcolumbia as we are at the northern extent of their range. #wildliferescue #awesomeopossum #baby #opossum #toes #wildliferehab #animal #animalrescue #marsupial #cute #adorable #delta #adorable #cutebabyanimals #babyanimals #unusualguest #tail #whiskers #ears #ohthatface #wildlifeanmls #vancouvervegans

This Silver-haired Bat was brought to us after being blown out of a tree in a storm. Apart from being hungry and cold, there are no major injuries and we hope to get her back to her roost as soon as possible.
