Australian possum vs American possum 画
I had this exact conversation with an Australian friend. She was startled and said that oh, she must have just heard a possum outside her window.
Me: “OH GOD CLOSE YOUR WINDOW RIGHT NOW D:”
After an amusingly long circular conversation where she thought I was irrationally scared of the adorable little animal on the left, we figured out that we were discussing two very different animals. She sent me a picture, I awwed. Then I sent her a picture.
“WHAT IS THAT THING?!”
The last time I saw one that wasn’t roadkill, it was hissing at me from the shadows of a dark driveway I was walking past and I just bolted for a good hundred feet or so out of reflex.
This may be the only time the US wins in a head to head competition for scarier animals with Australia.
the one marsupial we do have, and it’s this fucking thing
but australian possums, while they cannot actually kill you, are still pretty damn scary
if one gets into your house they are known for being able to wreck shit more efficiently than an army of vandals
also, while they look cute, they do not sound cute
they make the most terrifying noises known to mankind
if i was making a horror movie i would only use possum noises
seriously when i was little they’d have fights right outside my window and it was so damn scary oh my god
