after extensive research and messages from many americans i present this 100% factual guide. is this the only animal that isn’t more horrifying in australia?! i still wanna own 600 opossums 

This person has never been stalked through the Brisbane Botanic Gardens by a gang of possums thinking you might have food

Clearly this person also does not live in a house with a tin roof. 

– Did you hear that possum last night? 

– WHAT? SORRY, I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE NEVER-ENDING BARRAGE OF NOISE OF RAMPAGING POSSUMS. 

And they scream and fight. I had two living in my roof that would regularly wake me in the middle of the night by running around 11 feet above my bed, and then screaming and hissing at one another. 

They’re still not that bad in comparison to most of our other creatures, but they’re not quiet. 

And, they do not always stay in the roof… 

Exhibit A: My living room, at about 3 a.m. one time.
