An Enfamil Formula to Help Meet Your Baby's Needs
If your baby's having a hard time with his or her feedings, it's probably because his or her little digestive system is still developing. Fortunately, there's an Enfamil® formula designed to help meet these feeding needs.
For babies with mild feeding concerns like fussiness, gas, or spit up, and for babies with more serious concerns, like cow's milk and food protein allergies, Enfamil offers a selection of formulas. These formulas are formulated with LIPIL, Enfamil's blend of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid), nutrients found in breastmilk that help support the development of a baby's brain, eyes, and immune system. Whatever your baby's feeding need, there's an Enfamil formula to help meet it.
Specialty Formula for Babies with Digestive Issues
Lactose is the primary carbohydrate found in breast milk and in most milk-based formulas. However, some babies with digestive issues are fussy or gassy on routine formula. That's why the maker of Enfamil created specialty formulas like Enfamil® Gentlease®.
Enfamil Gentlease is patterned after breast milk, but with two small changes: reduced levels of lactose (about 1/5 the lactose of a full lactose, routine, milk-based formula) and an easy-to-digest milk protein blend that has been partially broken down. The formula is designed to help relieve fussiness and gas while ensuring your baby receives the good nutrition he or she needs.
Gentlease has approximately 1/5 the lactose of a full-lactose, routine milk-based formula, helping relieve fussiness and gas with fewer complaints of constipation.

Didelphimoarphi (pronounced /da??d?lf??m?rfi.?/) is the order of common opossums of the Western Hemisphere. They are commonly also called possums, though that term is also applied to Australian fauna of the suborder Phalangeriformes. The Virginia Opossum is the original animal named opossum. The word comes from Algonquian wapathemwa. Opossums probably diverged from the basic South American marsupials in the late Cretaceous or early Paleocene. A sister group is Paucituberculata (shrew opossums).

Their unspecialized biology, flexible diet and reproductive strategy make them successful colonizers and survivors in diverse locations and conditions. Originally native to the eastern United States, the Virginia Opossum was intentionally introduced into the West during the Great Depression, probably as a source of food.[2] Its range has been expanding steadily northwards, thanks in part to more plentiful, man-made sources of freshwater, increased shelter due to urban encroachment, and milder winters. Its range has extended into Ontario, Canada, and it has been found farther north than Toronto.

Characteristics

Didelphimorphs are small to medium-sized marsupials, with the largest about the size of a large house cat, and the smallest the size of a mouse. They tend to be semi-arboreal omnivores, although there are many exceptions. Most members of this taxon have long snouts, a narrow braincase, and a prominent sagittal crest. The dental formula is:
Dentition
5.1.3.4
4.1.3.4

By mammalian standards, this is a very full jaw. Opossums have more teeth than any other land mammal; only aquatic mammals have more.[citation needed] The incisors are very small, the canines large, and the molars are tricuspid.

Didelphimorphs have a plantigrade stance (feet flat on the ground) and the hind feet have an opposable digit with no claw. Like some New World monkeys, opossums have prehensile tails. The stomach is simple, with a small cecum.

Opossums have a remarkably robust immune system, and show partial or total immunity to the venom of rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and other pit vipers.[3][4] Opossums are about eight times less likely to carry rabies than wild dogs, and about one in eight hundred opossums are infected with this virus.[5]

[edit] Reproduction and life cycle
Sleeping Virginia opossum with babies in her relaxed pouch

As a marsupial, the opossum has a reproductive system that is composed of a placenta and a marsupium, which is the pouch.[6] The young are born at a very early stage, although the gestation period is similar to many other small marsupials, at only 12 to 14 days.[7] Once born, the offspring must find their way into the marsupium to hold onto and nurse from a teat. The species are moderately sexually dimorphic with males usually being slightly larger, much heavier, and having larger canines than females.[8] The largest difference between the opossum and other mammals is the bifurcated penis of the male and bifurcated vagina of the female (the source of the Latin didelphis, meaning double-wombed). Male opossum spermatozoa exhibit cooperative methods of ensuring the survival of genotypically similar sperm by forming conjugate pairs before fertilization[9] . Such measures come into place particularly when females copulate with multiple males. These conjugate pairs increase motility and enhance the likelihood of fertilization. Conjugate pairs dissociate into separate spermatozoa before fertilization. The opossum is one of many species that employs sperm cooperation in its reproductive life cycle.

Female opossums often give birth to very large numbers of young, most of which fail to attach to a teat, although as many as thirteen young can attach[8], and therefore survive, depending on species. The young are weaned between 70 and 125 days, when they detach from the teat and leave the pouch. The opossum lifespan is unusually short for a mammal of its size, usually only two to four years. Senescence is rapid.[10]

[edit] Diet

Didelphimorphs are opportunistic omnivores with a very broad diet. Their diet mainly consists of carrion and many individual opossums are killed on the highway when scavenging for roadkill. They are also known to eat insects, frogs, birds, snakes, small mammals, and earthworms. Some of their favorite foods are fruits, and they are known to eat apples and persimmons. Their broad diet allows them to take advantage of many sources of food provided by human habitation such as unsecured food waste (garbage) and pet food.
Opossum fur is quite soft.

[edit] Behavior

Opossums are usually solitary and nomadic, staying in one area as long as food and water are easily available. Some families will group together in ready-made burrows or even under houses. Though they will temporarily occupy abandoned burrows, they do not dig or put much effort into building their own. As nocturnal animals, they favor dark, secure areas. These areas may be below ground or above.

Looks like this possum was having a good time raiding the peanut pile. I don't see them very often. This guy looks quite beat up.
