	Opossum - LoveToKnow 1911
		True opossums are found throughout the greater part of America from the United States to Patagonia, the number of species being largest in the more tropical parts (see Marsupialia).
		The numerous cheek-teeth are crowned with minute sharply-pointed cusps, with which to crush the insects on which these creatures feed, for the opossums seem to take in South America the place in the economy of nature filled in other countries by hedgehogs, moles, shrews, andc.
		The true opossums are typically represented by Didelphys marsupialis, a species, with several local races, ranging over the greater part of North America (except the extreme north).

	Red Fox Life and Habitat
		Red fox almost always den within a few hundred yards of water, whether it is a stream or a pond, or merely a marshy area from which water can be lapped after a heavy rain.
		While red fox generally den in dirt near low-land farms, gray fox are more likely to be found in forested and mountainous regions, living in rock dens, hollow logs, or holes dug into the base of cliffs and boulders.
		Red foxes are omnivores, which is to say they will eat almost anything, from old bread tossed away in a McDonald's parking lot to mice, eggs, young groundhogs, grasshoppers, rats, chickens, crayfish, snails, berries, corn, potatoes, fruit, berries, and even acorns and grass.

		In its natural environment the American Red Squirrel has a tendency to be a bit fearless of humans and often tends to be heedless of human presence.
		Unlike their larger cousin the Gray Squirrel, which can subsist on a rather small quantity of buds and nuts through the winter months, the American Red Squirrel is extremely active in the snowy seasons and requires large amounts of seeds and nuts.
		American Red squirrels are covered with short hair and appear mostly reddish, having brown, fl, and yellow specks throughout, with a white underbelly.

		Opossums and humans diverged from a common ancestor 130 million years ago, providing a unique midpoint on the evolutionary timeline for comparative studies involving other mammals, such as the mouse, which diverged from human 75 million years ago; and non-mammalian relatives, such as birds, which diverged from human 300 to 350 million years ago.
		Having the sequence of the opossum genome will give researchers the ability to learn more about the molecular basis of melanoma and its progression, as well as explore development of new therapies and preventive treatments.
		Understanding the genome of the red flour beetle is expected to provide information to help control this insect that is a major pest in many stored grain and cereal products around the world.
