📖 Read about me
The opossum is North America's only marsupial. When truly terrified it drops into an involuntary coma-like state, drooling and releasing a rotting smell to seem like a corpse — lasting minutes to hours. Its low body temperature makes rabies rare in it, it resists many snake venoms, and it has 50 teeth, the most of any North American land mammal.
