The Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial native to North America. However, due to the illegal trade in exotic animals, wild populations of wallabies are present in some regions. Further, due to the fact that some people tire of their exotic pets very quickly, there are also wild populations of sugar gliders present in parts of North America.
