It was explained to me that a possum has a lower body temperature than other mammals, so low that it cannot support the rabies virus.
I have no hatred towards possums. To me, they're inoffensive critters that pose no threat. But then, I don't raise chickens or ducks. I wouldn't mind if one made a snack of the noisy rooster across the street. LOL!
They get a pass on my property.
