That's an Opossum, me and an american friend had this argument a while ago,

I'm aware that the opossum is commonly referred to as a possum in the US, but it just confuses me when I see those comments XD

I never knew there was actually a creature named "possum". Opossum is just so commonly misspelled I pay no attention. That's wild!

The possum is generally considered a pest down here in New Zealand after they were introduced to control another introduced animal's population, but they're just everyday animals for their home in Australia.
But hey, you learn something new every day! :D

Look at that tail!
