In animals such as the rat or mouse, there is large risk to both the pregnant mother and the fetus, during surgery to access the womb and embryo-lemma. In contrast, the opossum is an advantageous animal for observation and post-natal surgery, because opossum birth occurs at a development stage which seems to be equivalent to a mammalian fetus.","tracks":[]}
