Things I Learned When a Possum Began Living Under Our Deck


* Possums are the only native marsupials to North America
* Possums have prehensile tails
* Possums have opposable thumbs(!)
* Possums are not afraid of my dog
* Possums are not afraid of me
* Hitting a possum with a broom has surprisingly little effect
* Possum shit smells unholy
* My dog enjoys rolling in possum shit
* Because of their low body temperature, possums rarely get rabies
* Female possums have 13 nipples
* If not removed soon, I will potentially have 13 more possums living under my deck
* Possums are either too smart to fall for raccoon traps or they don't like canned Science Diet dog food
