A neat fact about American possums: their body temperatures are low enough that they can't carry the rabies virus. They still carry fleas and such, though, so you don't want to get close to them.
Wait, really? I always thought they were rabies transmitters. I did not know that, that's so interesting!
Well, besides interesting simply for the fact of North-American-marsupial.
I think.
Are they marsupials?
Maybe I'm mis-remembering.
