Fact of the Day: Possum Rabies
Despite their unliked nature, opossums are actually almost immune to rabies.
When I was a kid we had an orphaned pet possum. They have sharp claws as expected and when they ran up your bare legs - holy hell did it hurt! Possums are the neatest of eaters I am sure in the animal kingdom. Have you ever seen them hold a slice of cucumber or apple? They could teach junk food eaters at the Maccas etc of this world a few niceties in table manners etc. Colin PS: That mobile phone thrower at the looney NRA meeting should have practiced more - what a waste of a phone!

Lucky possums!
I did not know that!
Interesting. It might be worth it for science to discover why
Oh very interesting fact darling

I love possums. I remember seeing the possums and the babies on their backs running along the fence in my grandma's back yard.
I used to see them occasionally in the woods behind the house where I used to live, so it's good to know I was never in any danger.
I didn't know that. Good to know.

They really do get a bad rap just because they're so ugly.
We're supposed to have opossums here in Colorado, but I have never seen one.
