What is more likely to get rabies a possum or a fox?
Neither, if the animals are in Australia or New Zealand, where there is no rabies. Most possum species are found only in Australia and nearby countries. The possum is a completely different animal to the opossum, even though the term "possum" is often used in reference to opossums. Australia and New Zealand do not have rabies, so therefore it is quite safe to say that possums and foxes from either of these two countries cannot have rabies. As for North America: whilst it is believed that any warm blooded mammal can get rabies, opossums' body temperatures are too low to harbour rabies. However, the fox could certainly get rabies.
