Bonus fun fact: Because of last week’s fun fact about opossums, it was brought up that opossums and possums are actually very different animals, even though people will often use the names interchangeably. Opossums are our native North American marsupial, often seen scurrying around at night, while possum refers to a group of marsupials that is native only to Australia. Simply put, we don’t have possums here, we have opossums. Be sure to share that at your next dinner party.
