Opossums are kind of scary looking creatures but they really do not have much of a defense system. They usually get killed by bigger dogs and hit by cars because they are slow moving. Their teeth and claws are not even as hurtful as a cat's. I do admit they are scarry looking things though. They are at the bottom of the food chain because they have no real defense (which only works on people) even bunnies and squirrels can out run them. |
