Opossum Pictures
These pages contain some pictures of opossums that friends keep sending me.
I love them all.
The opossum is a North American mammal about the size of a cat. It looks much like an over sized rat. In fact, one type of opossum is actually called the rat opossum. What's most interesting about opossums is how it reacts to predators: if it can't escape and hissing and showing its teeth do not scare off the predator, they pretend to die. The thing is, it's not doing this because it wants to; it can't really control it. Its muscles tighten up in fear and it faints.
Man is rated the highest animal, at least among all animals who returned the questionnaire.
