    They are in truth one of the dumbest creatures on the planet.

    I once successfully slowed down just in time for one to make it across the road, just for it to immediately turn around and dart under my tires once I started speeding back up.

    I've seen kittens exhibit similar behaviour

    Australian possums are scarier than what ever these things are, the fuckers sound like demons outside your window and wake you in the middle of the night

    cm0002 ,

    Australia is just where the rest of the world dumped a lot of the scarier versions of their local animals

    It’s also nature’s maximum security prison. New Zealand is the guard shack.

    Yeah, but yall's possums are adorable, ours look like they're about to stab you for meth money.

    Our possoms are cute but deadly depending on how they feel

    So they can decide to be cute or try amd fuck you up

    I believe opossums are America's only marsupial.

    Yeah, apparently marsupials first arose in North America and then migrated by some mechanism to Australia. Placental mammals arrived or also arose on North America as well which is why our marsupials are so...just opossums. But there were no mammals on Australia so they spread to many niches.

    Unless you see one outside of this continent, then it might be lost and need help finding its way home.

    That thing about ticks probably isn't true

    Sizzler , (edited )

    Heck, that link goes so far as to have a personal experience where they think an opposum brought ticks with Lyme disease from a dear with it that affected their dog.

    My one question is, would it be that easy to see a tick in an opposum's stomach contents?

    Aww maaan.

    That's not a love of the theater, that's just their fursona.

    Seeing that thing coming at you down a dark sidewalk on halloween night could be a bit unsettling for a second.

    a second? unprepared, i would most likely soil myself in some way

    ivanafterall , in Opossums are our friends

    If I see one, I'm trying to domesticate it.

    The only time I ran into a wild one, I couldn't ignore it because it was in my garage.

    But this opossum has a lot of cuteness and a big warm heart, and so do you. 💜

    Please just never call me fucking hell I don’t know why it’s acceptable just to fucking call someone. Write it down and show it to me like a civil person. Holy shit.
