I've been browsing all and in between news and memes it's been opossums. I absolutely love this platform and algorithm. It's like my Instagram account merged with my reddit account. Raccoons and opossums deserve more love🖤
Same thing, just word play. One is official. You wouldn't expect to see a discussion of taters in a science journal, but you could be asked to bring tater salad to the cookout.
Opossums (usually pronounced as ‘possum but the o actually isn’t silent) are the marsupials that live in the Americas, the most familiar of which being the Virginia opossum. Possums live in Australia.

Or at least I think there is. I still don't know the difference between an opossum and a possum.
