it has more teeth than any other land mammal. It is resistant to rattlesnake venom. They have bifurcated genitalia. 'Playing possum' (which includes secreting a foul-smelling fluid from the anal glands) is an involuntary reaction. That's just what happens when it freaks out. The New World possum family includes the yapok, the world's only aquatic marsupial.
NONE of that is charming. Interesting, but not charming. No comment about the freaking Trudy out thing.

Awesome.... of DEATH!
Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
This desert dweller doesn't know which ones are possums.
I forgot yesterday was my wedding anniversary. I was just staring at the calendar going "Why is June 14th a significant date? It means something, but what?"
Considering we're as close to the 25th wedding anniversary as makes little difference (we lived together for a while and only got officially married because local landlords didn't like unmarried couples), I find it amusing that the date can slip my mind.
It's weird, when I was a kid, only old folks had big wedding anniversaries.
Speaking of animal issues, PETA wants Seattlites to stop tossing sea-kittens.Can I get a big, ol' "Whatev, PETA" from the studio audience, please?
Racoons are every bit as wiley as 'possums, they just have better tails and may not be evil.
I hope you got that turned around, as racoons are composed almost entirely of evil IME.
PETA loses me with its "Exploit women, not animals," kind of ad campaigns. Not to mention they expect us to eat air and fava beans.

ION, Fox steals more than 100 shoes
BERLIN (Reuters) – A fox has been unmasked as the mystery thief of more than 100 shoes in the small western German town of Foehren, authorities said Friday.
A forest worker stumbled upon shoes strewn near the fox's den and found a trove of footwear down the hole which had recently been stolen overnight from outside locals' front doors.
"There was everything from ladies' shoes to trainers," said a local police spokesman. "We've found between 110 and 120 so far. It seems a vixen stole them for her cubs to play with."
Although many were missing laces, the shoes were in good condition and their owners were delighted to reclaim them, he said, adding that no reprisals were planned against the culprit.
