My first thought was squirrel but clearly it’s playing possum.

Look at the shape of the head, not the tail.
Baby squirrel.

Possum. Most likely fell from the pouch.

Google "newborn opossum" and you can see the similarities.

I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

It’ll grow a grassy patch.

I found something similar right below a squirrels nest under a tree in my back yard a couple months ago.

This and the ears. The possum snout is narrower and the ears project more.

Looks like a baby squirrel to me.
