Does anyone know what a Possum looks like???

Seriously, do you actually know what a Possum looks like? I now know what it looks like, but a few months ago, when somebody was talking about one, the first thing that came into my mind was this:











But in actual fact, this is not a Possum, it's an Armadillow!


Then, I thought it might be this:












But again, this is not a Possum, it's an Ant-Eater


I am convinced that the average person doesn't know what it looks like, and if asked, they'l mention one of the above species.



So, here is what a real Possum looks like:
















So cute! Bet you didn't think that's what it looks like!

You might think i'm either mad, or just a loser for bringing this up, but it's something that must be thought about.

Here is some info on the furry creatures:

• Possums are small marsupials with brown or grey fur, ranging in size and weight from the length of a finger or 170 grams (6 ounces) ,to the length of 120 centimetres (four feet) or 14.5 kilograms (32 pounds). All possums are nocturnal and omnivorous, hiding in a nest in a hollow tree during the day and coming out during the night to forage for food.Wikipedia.com
