Possum threat. Kill it or leave it

Yes by aggressive I ment, that they'd kill squirells and skunks and so on.. yea aggressive might have been the wrong word to use. They're very cool looking animals though, I remember seeing a tame one at an animal show when I was little

The Aussie ones are adorable. My ex is an Aussie, so when he hears possum, he thinks:


When I hear possum, I think:


Which makes it awkward when he calls me "possum" as a pet name. XD

I've never heard of a tame one though except as babies. Was it an adult?

They can be tamed easily if brought up with people. Many zoos have them as education animals. The really sad thing is their average life span is only about three years. Softest animal fur I have ever felt.
