Did they maybe just not want kids to know that possums are scary as fuck?

[pinkplasticdoll]

Why would they not want kids to know that? That is VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

there is a lemur living in my backyard. he kind of looks like a possum though.

Pretty sure it's a sloth.

"This possum also consumes a special type of faeces that is produced during the daytime when it is resting in a nest."

I read this as faces. this possum also consumes faces.

@jezebel it's a Ringtail possum, they are in Australia.

When I first moved here I was horrified at American possums lol

Ok,I just checked and the book was published in Australia.

Well, Australian possums are certainly much cuter than American ones.

He's an impostor.

Killed the possum, doesn't want anyone to know.
