Ummm. Opossums aren't aggressive. They'll make 'false' moves to act aggressive as a first line of defense, but if that doesn't work, they'll play dead. Yes, even when cornered.

Like, y'know, "playing opossum"?

And no, they don't get rabies - their low blood temperature and crazy strong immune system practically renders them impervious to that.

Ah yeah, you're right, it's an act, but it looks scary so people freak out - my bad. If people just left them alone, they leave you alone.
