  • Opossums used to scare me a bit as a kid. Like, the first thing I'd see when turning on the outdoor lights would be this giant white rat-creature clinging to the side of a tree.

    Naturally I warmed up to them when I grew up.

  • They also have a forked penis and 13 nipples. So cleary they are the superior life form. screm-cool

  • how did you get this picture of me??????

  • My indoor cat escaped one time(he's fine) so I set food out and aimed a cheap ip camera at it hoping to see him. One night I saw something on it, and when I got out there I had cornered an opossum. It was frozen completely still with it teeth bared and froth in its mouth. It was pretty freaky looking.

    • Did it hiss? screm-a aaaa

      They're all bark and no bite. Their signature fighting move is to play dead until you lose interest.

      • It might have hissed before I got outside, but I didn't hear it. It tried to run away from the direction I was coming from and got stuck in the corner between a fence and my garage.

        I used to think that move was a silly adaptation until I saw it in person. I think opossums are absolute cuties, but this one was pretty freaky looking, I get why it works now.
