They're very docile... I think they all have fangs, but I don't think a possum would ever attack.

I see them regularly, they eat any catfood on the porch left over at the end of the day.

The raccoons though, total assholes. They're fucking huge too.

So are the opossums, but they are not mean so they don't defend themselves...

If raccoons are around, they never chance it.

Incorrect.
USA opossum will bite you.
Look at the difference? You see?

No raccoons are actually cool.
I wish I could have a pet one here but not allowed outside of the zoo.
I like raccoons. If you gave them flea treatment and got them seen at a Vet they are the coolest pet animal.
Highly intelligent animals.

I don't make it a habit of getting close enough to opossums to get bitten, so I am not concerned about it.

I mean, Georgette's video went viral because she was massaging a possum...

Who does that?

Fricken no one.

The problem here they are cute little panda thing, they will piss on you and its acidic piss.
Never stand under them you will have a trip to the hospital. They also very noisy where American ones hide.
I go out shine torch on them they stop climbing down the cable lol I take the light away they keep running its funny.
Like I go for a walk see this possum running along the 66KV power lines.
Guys who work in power line stuff like Zane did they carry a pole just to get fried possums off the line.

Yes they have fangs and claws all American opossum do.
Why? Any introduced species will change to suit the environment.
Possums here are cute ive even patted them. People have pet possums here.
They are nocturnal and really have no predators.
Its like the difference between mice and rats in the UK and mice and rats here.
Mice and rats here will bite your ass some huge rats even kill cats.
In the UK where they were introduced from they are smaller and afraid of humans and other animals.
Here they go into plague proportions and wipe out whole crops.
Same with rabbits they have tried to make viruses to wipe out rabbits here wild ones I mean not pet ones.
Because they can literally wipe out whole crop fields.
European wasps here can kill you in Europe they don't bother you.
