    Common and Virginia possums are timid and will hiss or faint if they’re confronted and can’t run away.

    What kind of possum is mean?

      Right lol. I was gonna say I get comparing geese and wolverines, they’re both known for high levels of aggression, but opposums are known for remaining so still you think they’re dead lmao it’s almost the exact opposite!

      I don’t want to be gross, but when I was a kid, my dad was bringing me home from Little League and there was an opposum in the driveway. My dad ran it over with his car, and later on that thing got up and walked away. I count winning in a fight means to the death, and those things don’t die.

          I mean, I thought that’s what this chart was about. I don’t want to ever kill any animal. My comments were purely based on theory.
