While a single opossum may **t be the most welcome of backyard visitors, who could resist an opossum carrying eight adorable babies?

Queens, New York residents Gene and Heewon Lee Gray spotted such a miracle, dubbing the critter an "OctoPossum" after realizing how many little joeys she was carrying.*

The couple uploaded a video of the family to YouTube this week titled "Move Over PizzaRat-Meet Astoria, Queens NYC- 'OctoPossum,'" and we'd have to agree "OctoPossum" is definitely giving the state's other viral critter a run for its money.*
