Australian possums are scarier than what ever these things are, the fuckers sound like demons outside your window and wake you in the middle of the night

Australia is just where the rest of the world dumped a lot of the scarier versions of their local animals

It’s also nature’s maximum security prison. New Zealand is the guard shack.

Yeah, but yall's possums are adorable, ours look like they're about to stab you for meth money.

Our possoms are cute but deadly depending on how they feel

So they can decide to be cute or try and fuck you up

I believe opossums are America's only marsupial.

Yeah, apparently marsupials first arose in North America and then migrated by some mechanism to Australia. Placental mammals arrived or also arose on North America as well which is why our marsupials are so...just opossums. But there were no mammals on Australia so they spread to many niches.
