That\u2019s when Fisher saw the wild mom\u2019s dedication to her baby firsthand, and she\u00a0couldn\u2019t help but gush:<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"3\">\u201cLiterally adorable,\u201d Fisher can be heard saying in a video she captured of the sweet scene.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">Fortunately, after a brief moment of drama, the baby was back where he belongs.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">As marsupials, opossum moms typically transport their babies via a pouch on their undersides until they reach around 6 weeks old.
