I don’t think we have a “possums” community, so . . .

We don’t, and we welcome our friends from down under in this community! I doubt that a possum and an opossum ever met, but if they did… the opossum might play dead at first but would then welcome his Australian friend.

I had no idea possums and opossums are two different animals! I thought the names were interchangeable!
