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 love possums. I remember seeing the possums and the babies on their backs running along the fence in my grandma's back yard.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. Good to know.

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