Opossum
they just look so dopey and I can pet them without worrying about rabies
It's too bad they only live like 2 years
rac
Coons are demons I shoot them

that’s a lot of heavy duty conjecture and tenuous links to pull out your ass
I've hated raccoons since I caught one digging up fresh graves in a pet cemetery. Clearly they weren't deep enough but have some fricking respect.
Hey man, it's dead matter, either way it gets returned to life, be it either subterranean decomposers, or surface dwelling scavengers.
They’re crumby animals in general, I get they look ‘cute’ but most people I’ve met have had negative experiences with them
As do many others
they’re just animals trying to survive, you autist.
i like both but opossum is more charming
Poss
I’ll get you a beer if you vote for raccoons.
Third party.
Crazy how often these 3 show up together in videos
Does anyone know how the ecology of that trio works when they’re out in the wilderness without trash to eat? It just seems like their niches overlap too much to coexist with a limited food supply.
I've seen videos of opossums choke slamming skunks, so I'd imagine they don't really get along under normal circumstances
opossum killing a skunk pretty quickly
ive seen like 10 videos of opossums fricking up skunks but everything on the internet says skunks kill opossums
It's because skunks are ambush predators. They need to take time aim. This is like an archer being confronted with a swordsman. Of course the one adapted to close range combat will win.
That's a very young skunk.
This is pure uneducated guesswork but I figure raccoons are superior scavengers, skunks are able to repel predators, and possums have pig sized litters. So in a period of food scarcity and few threats the coon will prosper, but when food becomes abundant the possums have a higher potential maximum rate of population growth, and when the increase in scavengers is followed by an increase in their predators skunks will be less affected.
This is what happens to the third party.
I didn't know possums were so based. Just shows how badly we need to illegally import them to Europe.
they should join forces
Imagine what that could look like..
Neither. Both are kind of bland
Imagine calling the animal with a fricking built in thief mask and almost human-like hands bland
raccoons because they're cuter
RACCOONS!!!!!! 😀
but I do like opossums as well. both fascinating critters but bandits are more so.
raccoon
Opossums don't eat ticks except in a controlled laboratory setting where there's nothing else to eat. Wild ones don't eat ticks.
It's like the infamous cat piss experiment. lab rats did not enter areas with cat piss. However, wild rats do, and instead of fricking off they alter their scavenging behavior only if they smell cat piss plus one other predator. if it's only cat piss they only change their paths to stay out of sight, but don't alter their scavenging behavior, and under no circumstance do they just leave, other than being killed. Regardless a buch of "studies show" midwits latched on to it immediately and there was a failed ratting cat revival attempt, which seemed to work because the rats altered their paths to stay out of sight. Then people noticed the rats were still there, they put the cats back in, and cat tree sales skyrocketed.
Iirc, that particular experiment wasn’t about opossums seeking out ticks, it was about comparing the grooming behaviors of different animals. Opossums noticed most of the ticks crawling on them and ate them. The squirrels in the same experiment didn’t care about being covered in ticks and barely bothered trying to remove the ones on them.
So, all research is a hoax? What am I supposed to do to educate myself?
>So, all research is a hoax?
Shit like
is just another extension of culture war brain rot. The right wing, especially the religious sorts, don't like the fact that scientists generally disagree with them and they really don't like the fact that those scientists regularly publish work showing that their personal beliefs are factually incorrect.
The current response to this sort of thing is to declare that scientific research is false and misleading and there's no way to definitively know anything. They love this because their entire worldview is faith-based. Unfortunately, they're also moronic so anyone with a brain will instantly recognize their bullshit disingenuous pilpul tactics, as
did.
It's literally a shill
>“culture war brain rot”
>as he attempts to derail another thread for a chance to own le chuddies
pottery of the utmost exquisite construction
>being so politically obsessed you can't even look at a thread about fricking Opossums and Raccoons without mentioning it
you are actually pathetic
>le possums eat ticks
stop spreading this nonsense
Opposed cause ticks are fricking cancer but Racoons are cool
Opossum, placental supremacy is exploitative and shouldn't be encouraged.
Opossum
they're less pesky and eat ticks
also marsupials are just cool
They don't.
Based and true.
