They have about 54 teeth and when caught in a trap will show you them all.

All of the above plus when you skin them they have a lot of fat. How does that song go, something about beer and a possum in a sack.

Mike, that ugly thing is a possum. We never use to have any when I was a kid but then as the climate warmed, they came north. Sometimes up here, you will see them with their tails froze off. They are ugly but they do eat tons of ticks and are a good thing to have around. Troy, if you want to get rid of them, they are easy to live trap if you use marshmallows for bait. Marshmallows work well for live trapping coon too.

Great guide for people lost in the woods. Just follow him and he’ll take you back to the road. Just watch out for the traffic. Possums don’t.

Put one in a cage with a coon and the possum will kill it. Not you Bottomcoon. You know what I meant.

No I don’t want to get rid of them but we set rabbit boxes out and if one goes in the rabbit will not go in you have to wash it out
