Possums are not aggressive and they do not attack. True possums - the marsupials found in many parts of Australia - are docile creatures and just want to be left alone. If trapped, like any other animal, they become scared for their life and will defend themselves, but they do not attack.

Possums are quite different creatures to opossums.
