Cutest little friendly gremlin-animals. Reminder as always, they can't (almost/effectively never) get rabies, they love eating ticks, and they are North America's only marsupial cat-trans

I love how the kids ride around on mom's back like she's a city bus.

[-] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

Agreed, and since they're marsupials some might even be in the pouch!

Opossums just stare at you with their mouth open and hiss, from what I've seen. possum-mama

Don't mind me, just making a Simpsons reference

possums are so cute and chill. They are literally the only wild animal I can walk up to and pet. Though I don't do it too often, because I am not sure how comfortable/scared the possum is in that situation.

I love them so much. There used to be an Opossum that lived in my backyard, I loved that little guy so much, he would sometimes get into the back of my house and chill out in the bathroom lmao.

He probably wanted a place to smoke a cigarette. They are remarkably chill for a wild animal.
