trick or treat!!!! 🎃

OH HELL YEAH

you get a bunch of opossum facts bc i love them 🥺

because of their naturally low body temperature, it's incredibly uncommon for opossums to get rabies

opossums are the only marsupial native to north america north of mexico!!

newborn opossums are the size of a honeybee 🐝

their scientific name, Didelphis virginiana—specifically the "didelphis" bit—comes from the ancient greek "di-" meaning "two" + "delphus" meaning "womb". this is bc female opossums, like all marsupials, have two sets of reproductive systems!!! what!!

only the babies can safely hang by their tails, adults are too heavy. so pls don't pick them up by their tails!! you could break them!!

their back feet have opposable thumbs :o

opossums are very clean, grooming themselves constantly like a cat!!

the whole "opossums eat bucketfuls of ticks" thing is a myth. if they do eat ticks—which they very well might, being opportunistic omnivores—they certainly don't constitute a major component of their diet.

the defense mechanism of "playing dead" is an involuntary action, similar to feinting goats!! if you find one that seems "dead", it's best to leave it be (or move it to a safe spot if it's in the road/whatever), in case it's just passed out. if it is, it'll wake up in a few minutes/hours and waddle off

they're cute as heck

#this has been an original post #clouds gets asks #clouds gets trick or treaters #I FREAKING LOVE OPOSSUMS OKAY #best animal #also an opossum grabbing onto you with their back paws is the WEIRDEST feeling #even more so when they get the tail involved #they're so *strong*#you would not expect an animal that small/timid to be that strong #(pls don't go picking up wild opossums)

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them?#“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years.#thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me.#idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

I just think that 'animals are living intelligent creatures that have feelings and deserve to be respected' and 'when done properly farming is beneficial to both people and animals and there's nothing wrong with raising and killing animals for food, clothing, and other products' are concepts that very much can and should coexist

#i think a lot of people get too carried away in farming discourse to actually remember both of these things #some people are so aggressively anti-farming that they forget that meat and fur are necessary for some people #and that farming helps prevent overhunting of certain species #but some people are so aggressively pro-farming that they begin to think of animals as objects #that only exist to provide them with a product #animals deserve to be treated with respect and be given the best care possible while they're alive #but that doesn't mean that its a bad thing for them to die
