RE: Daily Doodle #14: NightJar
Possum’s are oddly cute. They don’t seem to friendly, though. I really wanted to pet a baby possum I saw a few years back, but thought better of it when it opened its mouth wide and showed me its sharp teethies.
Possums are very sweet and shy and even if they bite, it is only because they are scared to death. One bit me when, while babysitting, when I dragged it out from under a piece of furniture. It didn't hurt. Problem is that they do not live for very long - a couple of years, and they get sick easily. And they will try to eat anything they come across, like tubes of toothpaste or cleaning products.
Aw, poor dudes.
