Critter fact #112:

Opossums are the only marsupials in the United States

The idea that prey nonhumans and predator nonhumans have beef with each other as if in nature predators and prey just hate each other and that's why carnivory exists: extremely anthropocentric mindset. I've literally been friends with people who were species that hawks or wolverines prey on in the wild and we never were even at odds over it. I'm a South American opossum who's friends with a crested eagle. It's mostly a lot of humans that cannot comprehend killing something you don't have spite for; after all, they get all their meat in packaged form from the grocery store and the only time they kill other animals is when they're mad at a spider for existing.

Everyone's talking about how cute raccoons are, and while i agree wholeheartedly, all i can think about it the time i was at camp and i woke up to raccoons in our tent cause one was patting my ass through my cot, and then another grabbed one of the other girls' hands and she screamed and our councilor had to literally sweep the raccoons out of our tent with the broom she grabbed to hit intruders with lol. we made extra sure everything was zipped all the way closed after that

Critter fact #110:

American opossums (Didelphis virginiana) don't carry more disease than other mammals, this is especially notable in that they have a low susceptibility to rabies. They also have some immunity to snake venom.

[qwuilty]

my take about postal dudes as animals is they should all be some kind of pest animal
