Look, 'possums might not win any beauty pageants, but they've got one helluva survival instinct-kinda like your uncle who somehow keeps getting free refills in that same styrofoam cup at the corner store. These little night bandits will eat anything and fake their own death like a character from that Wyomin' cowboy show. Same motto as your weird uncle too: when life gets rough, just hiss, play dead, then move on.
