Wildlife that cute almost makes up for the spiders...

u/TheQuinnBee 1d ago

If it was an American Opossum I'd tell you that they eat spiders.

But it's an Australian Possum so it probably turns into a spider or some other horrifying bullshit.

u/Logical_Otter 1d ago

Would you believe me if I told you that platypuses are egg-laying mammals that detect their prey using electrolocation? Also, they're venomous.

2

u/quazmang 1d ago

I was very confused because that does not look like any possum I have ever seen. American possums do not look that cute (to me) lol

u/SilentMase 1d ago

What you talking about bout Willis?

u/Unhappy_Ad839 1d ago

This is a rare case where American possums are the hellspawn and the Australian ones are the cute little blorbos

He wants you to let him in.... and give him your strawberry jam.

Yes. "Strawberry Jam"

u/honeyblissbabe 1d ago

The official jam inspector has arrived.

u/Achylife 1d ago

He must've heard about the gig from his grandfather, The infamous jam doughnut bandit.

5

u/ol-gormsby 1d ago

They're quite keen on fresh fruit - slices of apple, mango, strawberries, etc.

And as cute as they are, you don't want them learning that you're good for a treat.

I'll feed birds like magpies and parrots, but possums.......no.

u/StabjackDev 1d ago

Always tough when the soul of a deceased relative gets trapped in a baby possum. Maybe leave a little bowl of water out.

u/Paper_Tiger11 1d ago

Not a baby opossum

u/potatoloaves 1d ago

In Australia it is!

u/Turbulent_Summer6177 1d ago

In the states ours is opossum while the Aussie animal is a possum. They are distinctly different animals. Ours looks like hell spawn while yours is cute and cuddly.

25

u/Weltallgaia 1d ago

They are all cute and cuddly

8

u/ethanlan 1d ago

I was gonna say I love opossums, they are like the nicest animal in the world that isn't domesticated

9

u/Impossible_Past5358 1d ago

And possibly the one thing that won't kill you in Australia...

3

u/Turbulent_Summer6177 1d ago

Sure. Like I’m going to believe you there actually is anything in Australia that isn’t trying to kill you. You aren’t going to fool me.

5

u/RechargedFrenchman 1d ago

They're not dangerous in the same sense as many other Australian species -- though to be honest the danger in Aus is overstated -- but those little hands are definitely capable of carrying little knives. It's all fun and games until the too-cute wildlife puts one between the ribs.

5

u/No_Language_4649 1d ago

Ha, came here to say how undeniably cute Aussie possums are compared to our American opossum. I’d give that little guy dinner every day and try to make friends with him.

5

u/Prisefighter_Inferno 1d ago

Hell spawn? What world do you live in where opposums aren’t also cute as hell?

4

u/Turbulent_Summer6177 1d ago

I’m guessing you’ve never had I’ve bare its teeth and hiss at you.

6

u/tO_ott 1d ago

That’s all they’ll do. You can walk right up and pick them up because they’re so docile.

Don’t pick them up, though

3

u/Prisefighter_Inferno 1d ago

Yea that’s the cutest part cause that’s all they do is his and make that grin, they don’t got anything else.

Also they don’t carry rabies

5

u/Turbulent_Summer6177 1d ago

They can carry rabies. It’s just a lot less likely they will have rabies.

3

u/Prisefighter_Inferno 1d ago

Ahh I see thanks for the correction

1

u/RechargedFrenchman 1d ago

And even if the couldn't carry rabies -- don't approach and interact with wildlife without cause. Especially already clearly alert and uneasy wildlife.

1

u/Prisefighter_Inferno 1d ago

Hi yes I’m not arguing their approachability.

Only their cuteness.

And that when my eager dog catches one, they play dead and don’t hurt no one till I put em in a nice lined box and put em off my property

3

u/mahouyousei 1d ago

The Aussie possums were named after the North American opossum!

u/potatoloaves 1d ago

Oh! My bad.

u/dandroid126 1d ago

They didn't say it was an opossum. They said it was a possum. Which is a different animal. It's a marsupial native to Australia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalangeriformes

1

u/VOZ1 1d ago

The species are commonly known as possums, opossums…

Hmmmm….

5

u/dandroid126 1d ago

It's like "octopi". Enough people used it incorrectly that it became correct, since correctness of language is defined by how much people say it.

3

u/VOZ1 1d ago

Just thought it was funny that your comment explained the difference between possum and opossum, and then the Wikipedia page just muddied the water more.

10

u/Direct-Molasses-9584 1d ago

Correct, it's a baby possum

That's why it says possum, not opossum

Is he in the house watching TV and having a beverage, or is that a reflection?

u/WifesPOSH 1d ago

Possums are very useful. They eat ~5000 ticks a year.

We have outdoor cats that don't eat their kills, instead leaving us trophies to step on. I saw a possum throw that shit in his mouth whole.

They are fine by me.

Is that a taxidermied possum with someone making its arm move outside the window or am I tripping?

u/Curious_Curiouser522 1d ago

Overpopulation of them in New Zealand?

2

u/Cubriffic 1d ago

CRAZY overpopulation of them, theyre an introduced pest. It was jarring as an Aussie going to NZ and hearing about how much they damage the environment.

I would have a pet possum in this situation. I hear they make wonderful companions.

Edit = wrong kind of possum, my bad. Seems like these ones live longer !

u/Bobblefighterman 1d ago

Wrong on multiple levels;

Opossums can get rabies, it's just rarer due to their low body temperature.

This is a possum, found in Australia, New Zealand and surrounding islands. It's not a North American opossum.

Possums don't have rabies simply because Australia doesn't have rabies at all. There is the lyssavirus, which is pretty much the same thing, but that's only found in bats.

Please do not interact with our native wildlife if you visit Australia.

We proudly let them do their own thing

Damn i hope it doesn't have some kinda rabies or disease going on. That doesn't seem normal behavior.
