minus-squareBarrierWithAshes@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up5·18 天前One of these days I really gotta figure out the difference between these guys and ‘regular’ possums. Always happy to see these ones in my neighbourhood.
minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·18 天前The Opossum is the North American animal Didelphis virginiana In North America sometimes the Opossum will be called a Possum. The Possum however doesn’t live in North America and is bushy tailed.
minus-squareBarrierWithAshes@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·18 天前Ah, I see. Then I’ve never seen a proper possum then. Everything out here is just opossums. Nice. Thanks.
