Yeah, this one is a native to Northern Australia. It's a type of marsupial, so therefore has a pouch 😃

Just did the same in my head. Something like; "That's no possum! ..... Oh right, other possums...."

Your possums are cute, ours look like grumpy old men

They're kinda sweet though, I saw a video of one that sorta lived with a guy as a pet and it cleaned up really nice.

But yea they look kinda crazy and scraggly in general.

They’re wonderful animals, we have little hides and shelters on our property in the winter for them, I actually came out into the garage a week or so ago to a young possum investigating the empty dog food bag.

North American opossums are also marsupials, actually! They're the only marsupials native to North America.

I loved the book Possum Magic when I was little. I don't know how I sometimes forget about those beautiful little babies
