Opossums are so cute
Crash & Eddie are Best Opossums
Don't care what the proper name is. In the usa, we call them possums
The mammal with the most teeth is the giant armadillo
These animals are gross 🤢
So I could just walk up and pick a wild one up
Imagine your a caveman and accidently drop a anvil on and ants hea thousands of years later while your watching the news you see the ants evolved to have door heads 😂
Opossums don't get rabies and they eat ticks !
One comes by my window at night, she has babies in her pouch so she kinda waddles right now. I leave a bowl of water out for her when it's hot
Opossums are awesome! ❤
Isn’t it true that it’s not an act? It’s a self-induced coma-like state?
Related to kangaroos and koalas yet, in America… hmm
Quite the load on a mother opossum!
Ahh tire targets
It's sad that they only live an average of 1-2 years. Such cute critters!
I love them They ar adorable. I have saved a few..I miss mine..Please be good to them. They are so good for the yard..They eat their weight in ticks, bugs and keep your garden clean..
Fawl smelling liquid? More like they shit themselves
Mama nosi puna leđa malih beba.Slatko i brižno.
They don't play or act dead. They are actually unconscious because they are scared into shock. It's involuntary
Praze them
Its not a performance, its involuntary. Survival tactic. They dont do it, it happens to them
Ive seem a Opossum before i didnt know they were that crazy
I feel so bad because I remember an opossum was in my yard a few days ago, and I had no clue that I left my door open so my dog ran and caught up to the opossum and I thought he killed the opossum, but it was playing dead and it smelled so bad just like poop so now I know that it pooped itself on purpose, but my dog didn’t attack the opossum thankfully😅
Makes me think of Wild Robot and the whole possum family. 😂🤍
I know a possum that lives in someone’s basement
So basically… they get scared stiff and shit themselves
Fun fact those animals are our worst enemies for us farmers they always eat the chicken eggs,chicken, ducks,ect
Opossum
“Oh great Steve … WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”😟
I had a pet possum. Gracie was GREAT! She constantly wanted to "slub" me. ❤
occasionally we get one in our yard along with raccoons' squirrels blue jays crows' cats
Of all the times I've seen Opossums, I've NEVER seen one play "Possum". The only ones that stayed still like that must have been really, Really, REALLY dedicated to the Craft! ☠️🤷🏼♂️. 🤓😎✌🏼☮️
Poor babies just get scared shitless
I love them!!
❤
Dude I was eating
They’re beautiful precious babies 🙏💚
Magnificent!
They "play possum" because they are the only marsupials that live beyond Wallace's line.
How could a predator that's a scavenger "lose interest and move on" ..😅like a vulture.
These mammals look like a Jurassic mammal in the Jurassic.
They’re too cute for this world.
That poor mom at the end❤. Fun fact: opossums are one of the only creatures “immune” to rabies. Their body temperature is too low for the virus to survive
They are so cute❤
just like my ex
They are the only Marsupial indigenous to the US. It's like our little slice of Australia here in North America. Some people hate them, but I love them
Sadly they have a short life span 😢
It's soooo ugly! "When it was born it got beat by the ugly stick." 🤮🤮🤮
