My wife had a pet possum, years ago, and is still a possum fan. I had a young possum in my room for a couple of days… until my mother saw it. Such a fuss she made.
Here’s a mommy possum on the hunt for human food scraps, with five or six babies riding piggy-back. Wolf spiders do that, too. Just thought I’d mention it.
When I was a kid in Missouri, there were a lot of possums around, and I thought they were cute, but since moving west, I have yet to see one.
Patty had one for a pet and is very fond of them.
They are so cute.
