Wildlife guys--help solve mystry please

As you should recall, we put out the night camera on a regular basis.
We have several possums that come by--one whose pouch is obviously full of babies.

One night a possum came by and I thought curl I saw was a baby's tail protruding from the pouch.
However she came back more than once and the camera shows it was not a tail, but ??? round in her abdomen.
What the heck is going on with this possum? I have cut cropped the photo to show the strange sight in this image.

Can someone enlighten me on what I am seeing in these photos?

I thought "chemo port?"

Strangest darn thing I have seen. Husband suggested alien. (if you know the movie)

Prolapsed rectum or uterus?

My friend suggests that the possum has some container spout stuck to its fur.

That may be a coiled tail of one of the youngsters in her pouch.

Those coiled tails look like that could be it.
