    Did it hiss? screm-a aaaa

    They're all bark and no bite. Their signature fighting move is to play dead until you lose interest.

      It might have hissed before I got outside, but I didn't hear it. It tried to run away from the direction I was coming from and got stuck in the corner between a fence and my garage.

      I used to think that move was a silly adaptation until I saw it in person. I think opossums are absolute cuties, but this one was pretty freaky looking, I get why it works now.
