Possums and kangaroos are both warmblooded mammals, specifically, marsupials. Both these creatures give birth to very undeveloped live young which then continue most of their development in the mother's pouch.
Many species of possums and kangaroos are herbivorous, although the smaller species of each are omnivorous, living also on insects and/or insect larvae. (Kangaroo does not refer to just wallabies, Red kangaroos and the Grey kangaroos - there are several small desert-dwelling species of macropod).

Opossums are also scavengers, eating almost anything they can find, whereas possums are somewhat more discerning.
