They pretend to have rabies, which scares away predators. In reality, you could probably recreate this pic with a wild mother opossum, babies in pouch and all, and still not get bit.

I've seen a dude tempt one before, and she never went for it.
Seriously, everyone, just feed your local opossums. They won't bite, they're almost entirely immune to rabies, and they also absolutely love to eat ticks, so they're more "pest control" than actual pest.

They're also fucking adorable and super sweet when they're not playing rabid.

Resistant* Their body temperature is low enough that it's less likely for them to get it, but it's not impossible.

They are resistant to a lot of illness'es that can affect animals. You'd be surprised if you check a list of illness'es that opossums can transmit to humans (like tuberculosis!)

They are cute, but still should avoid to be petted.

With that said, you might as well call a hearse bc I will pet them

Good for you Dude. Might as well take Heather to Hot Topic while you’re at it. XD

The hearse won't be necessary with how little the risk actually is. I pet several of them, picked a couple up and brought an abnormally friendly one home. When I did get bit by one, I licked the womb clean(What humans are suppose to do) and put some herbal infused coconut oil on it when I got home and went on with my day with no worry of rabies or other diseases(unless you have a weak immune system).

These animals deserve much better then what they get from the average human so if you come across a friendly one, I hope you pet and feed them since they can eat an entire human size peanut butter sandwich which is what happened with the one I brought home.

I really hope you meant wound instead of womb.

I am impressed by that. Opossums are quite the animals.
