Opossums, which include roughly 100 species in the order Didelphimorphia, are some of the most misunderstood animals in the America. They’re often thought of as dimwitted, dirty creatures whose most impressive trick is playing dead and acting like roadkill. The truth is just the opposite: Opossums are smarter, cleaner, and more beneficial to people than many of their woodland comrades. Even if possums aren’t the cutest creatures in the forest, they should be a welcome addition to your backyard. Unlike other mammals that carry ticks, which may spread Lyme disease, possums gobble up about 90 percent of the ticks that attach to them. According to the National Wildlife Federation, a single possum consumes 5000 of the parasites per tick season. That means the more possums that are in your area, the fewer ticks you’ll likely encounter. #opossums #opossum #animals #animallovers #uglyanimals #zoo #zoolife #pet #pets #petstagram #nature #wildlife #instadaily #epic #conservation #animal #funnyanimals #lovethese #cute #adorable #wantone #opossumlife #babies #babyopossum #checkthisout #opossumsoftiktok #backyard #farm
