I love possums but they, like rats (also such amazing creatures) like to move into your walls, eaves, and attics and poop and have babies. I hate and love them. Always cool to see one in the yard. America's only marsupial, right?

When I was a kid, I had a series of rodents, including rats. I always thought it was really cool how my rats, when walking along a tenuous surface, would wrap (or attempt to wrap) their tails around the object (usually my arm) to prevent themselves security from falling.

I don't know if possums do the same, I've never encountered one, but your "amazing creatures" interjection reminded me of that.

edit: Correct a word.
