They seem to have a naturally high level of immunity to most diseases. Example? Opossums are more resistant to rabies than any other mammal; cattle, goats, dogs, cats, sheep, and the ice cream man are far more susceptible to rabies!Opossums feed on insects, earthworms, small mammals, fruits, grains, plants, and carrion.need to add frogs, birds (especially chickens) eggs and snakesdescrip: Size of a cat; grey to black fur; black eyes; pink nose, feet and tail; black ears; and pointed noseHiss or growl and show their 50 sharp teeth when frightened;Opossums are usually solitary and nomadic, staying in one area as long as food and water are easily available. Opossums are excellent tree climbers and spend much of their time aloft. They are aided in this by sharp claws, which dig into bark, and by a long prehensile (gripping) tail that can be used as an extra limb. Opossums nest in tree holes or in dens made by other animals.One of the shortest lived mammals for its size, typically 2 to 4 years. Killed by many predators: humans (and cars), dogs, cats, owls, and larger wildlife.Think the + for poison should be higher as well. as  " Opossums are actually immune to the venom of many pit vipers including rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths. The reason for this immunity is due to ntihemorrhagic and antineurotoxic antibodies in their blood.Opossums are considered ophiophagous mammals, meaning that they are snake-eating mammals, which is why they are immune to snake venomI would increase their hit die a bit also to a full hit die.. they can take a beating..needs to be blended with yours</blockquote>
