wrotemyown:ciarachimera:riseofthedruids:xekstrin:ultrafacts:(Fact Source)Follow Ultrafacts for more factsthank you possums we don’t deserve youTEACH THE CONTROVERSY let the trash babies eat ticks also it’s extremely rare for opossums to carry rabies, wild opossums are actually pretty gentle animals unless you try to hurt them/corner them/or harm their babies (please don’t bother them), and they are beneficial to the environment. ftr the reason it’s so rare for opossums to carry rabies is that their natural body temperature is low enough that the rabies virus can’t survive/propagate/whatever. So it’s not just “they don’t seem to get it” it’s “it’s very rare for them to be ABLE to get it”. -- source link
