    I will start by saying they do creep me out. But seeing this guy incorporated with your family he is a cutie!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Thanks! I think their large mouths and eyes creep most out. They are so gentle though.

    I think the long mostly naked tail folks see, and that wild opossums are usually seen only at night, so in the glow of a headlight or flashlight and their eyes reflect the light help creep some people out. But I have never been, I think it is neat that they are our own native marsupial!

    I have always wanted to own an exotic critter! I would love a skunk or possum, but they are illegal here in BC.
