I have at least three of these guys living on my property.

In the evening they come out and do their nightly routes. (I record them on a wildlife camera.)

Be nice to possums. They look crazy/scary, but they are very docile, they don't get rabies, and they eat ticks. So they are your friends.

(Note: and they are the only marsupial in North America...)

They are so sweet! I called to help a possum in NJ ...it was hit by a car and hiding under a tree bear the street. They're so 💕 precious

Had no idea they're the only marsupials in NA! lol reminds me of the old " marsupilamiiii" cartoon

Totally docile! Actually had to prod one gently with a broom as it slowly moseyed along, totally unconcerned by the presence of a large predator.
