Sometimes I forget there are different possums. . .
nymphoninnsfw OP t1_ixt6npm wrote
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...."

😅 as an Australian other possums seem strange

As someone from New Zealand I sometimes forget that they aren’t treated as pests and the spawn of satin elsewhere in the world like they are here, it’s kind of a pity considering how adorable they can be.

I saw this and thought "Cute!? Sure, but that thing is a pest!" until I noticed the extra star. It is a shame they are a pest here though.

As someone from Queensland - they might be cute, but goddamn are they annoying, and could they kindly find someone else’s roof to fight on?

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

I had no idea that they were considered a pest over in NZ 😕
Platipus54321 t1_ixtsa0g wrote
Yeah it’s actually a really big problem here, they eat the native trees and bird eggs and they are absolutely everywhere. Putting out traps for them is quite common and possum fur clothes are also pretty common.

Technically they aren't, one are possums, the other Opossums, but Americans tend to mix the names

Yeah, we've had a possum caught on our camera a few nights walking along the fence...night 4 of the possum trap being set tonight, first 2 nights it was raining heavily so it didn't come, oddly didn't come last night either...here's hoping it comes tonight and decides to take a bite from the trap!

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.

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

They’re actually useful around North America!
agasizzi t1_ixwd2m1 wrote
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.
