minus-squaremxcorylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·8 个月前Opossum (North America) and Possum (Australia) are two different animals. However if you are in the US and say “possum” people will know which animal you are most likely talking about. There is nothing wrong with saying possum instead of opossum in general conversation though. Quick search says they have had their name since early 1600s.
