Possums and opossums may sound like the same thing, but they are actually very different animals. Here are some of the main differences between them:
Possums
Possums are also called brushtail possums because they have fluffy tails. These pesky creatures come from Australia and nearby islands, but some people brought them to other places (like where we live in North America). Their noses are short, and not as sharp as an opossum’s. Possums mostly eat plants, like leaves, flowers, and fruits. For the most part, possums are arboreal creatures, preferring to spend most of their time in the trees—but yes, they will occasionally drop down to wreak a bit of havoc on your home.
Opossums
These animals are originally from the Americas and they have some unique features. Their tails are hairless and curly, and they can use them to grip branches. Their snouts are long and pointed, which help them sniff out food. They eat almost anything, from bugs and fruits to dead animals (and yes, your garbage). They can have a lot of young at once (sometimes 20 or more). One of an opossum’s most famous tricks is to pretend to be dead when it feels scared or threatened. The animal will do this by falling over and staying still, sometimes for hours.
If you’re having trouble with either species and would like to see them gone, give Lafayette Pest Control Company a call.
