They look a bit creepy with their white ghostly faces, but are really quite chill and harmless.

Theyre very chill and cute. Theyre great at eating ticks and stuff like that too. Be kind to our derpy marsupial friends

Turkeys are the true tick eating heroes

We had Guinea Fowl that hung out with our turkeys. Those bastards were tick destroyers

In my experience turkeys tend to spread the ticks lol usually way more ticks in areas with turkeys

I knew they exist but damn, just outside of Minneapolis at my house saw one sneaking around. Can’t say I’ve seen a living one. Derpy does seem to be a fair term.

They will show their teeth if they feel threatened, but they won't attack. Look up animal bites with your state's health dept and you won't find any opossums. They are more likely to roll over and play dead -- "play possum"

They’re also bigger in person than they look in pictures
