Possums

A possum does not normally stand in one position for a very long time.

Cats eat possums

The average amount for a possum is about 85 dollars, i bought one for 95 bucks from my friend.

Most of its fur is brown, but its chest, abdomen, and throat are white.

Possums are different to opossums. Possums belong to the family Phalangeridae and order Marsupialia, while opossums belong to the order Didelphimorphia, although they are also marsupials. Possums are found in New Guinea, Australia (including Tasmania), Sulawesi (Indonesia) and a few other small islands in the Pacific region. Possums are not native to New Zealand, but the brush-tailed possum was introduced into that country over a century ago and has subsequently become a pest.

Possums have short, thick, wiry fur.

Yes. Wild native animals should not be caged, except if they are injured and need to be kept still and quiet while they are cared for.

So who invented Awesome Possum? Well I did fellows. Now If you don't know who awesome possum is than too bad for you.

No, the striped Possum is on theVulnerable list but is not endangered. But this can change at anytime with wild fires and hunters and the environment.

They are excellent climbers, due in part to their possession of a prehensile tail, and also due to their very sharp claws. These claws enable th pygmy possum to quickly and efficiently scramble up straight tree trunks.

People, cats, foxes. raccoons, hawks, dogs, snakes, bears, coyotes, cougars, owls...

Possums do not kill native trees in Australia, but they are destructive to the native forests in New Zealand, where they have been introduced.

A primate

No. Raccoons are placental mammals and possums are marsupials. The two are from completely different families.

There are slightly different versions of how the 'possum got its name.

From WikiPedia (see also link below):

The Virginia Opossum is the original animal named "opossum". The word comes from Algonquian 'wapathemwa' meaning "white animal", not from Greek or Latin, so the plural is opossums. Colloquially, the Virginia Opossum is frequently called simply possum. The name is applied more generally to any of the other marsupials of the Didelphimorphia and Paucituberculata orders, which includes a number of opossum species in South America.

The possums of Australia, whose name is derived from a similarity to the Virginia Opossum, are also marsupials, but of the order Diprotodontia.

From the Opossum Society of the US:

The name "opossum" is derived from an Algonquian Indian word "apasum", meaning white animal.

Stay out of the sun (shade), spread out so their is more surface area on their body for the air to cool them, drink water etc. Possums are nocturnal (they only come out at night time when it's cooler anyway).

When there is a massive heat wave lots of them usually die, firstly because of their fur, and also... since hot air rises and they're stuck up trees...well it's like they're own personal sauna.

It's pretty sad cause they drop out of trees.

It depends on the dog(s) nature and what you trained it to do.

Pygmy possums feed mostly on nectar, but they do also eat flying insects, beetles and small lizards. They are able to actually catch flying insects with one paw, and they then eat the wings before consuming the bodies.

No, for the simple reason that true possums are native to Australia, and are not the same as the North American opossums. There are no raccoons in Australia, so the two cannot be enemies.

Every 28 days, unless of course she gets pregnant, then it's normally once a year.

Possum calls are not particularly loud. Their territorial spats are best described as a loud hissing.
