It is fat. The fat gets stored in their skull. If they get too fat, they go cross eyed.

"Chonk" Opossum is a very, very bad thing. Possums have very specific dietary needs. They only get that fat if you feed them dog food or leftovers from your plate. That poor thing is going to get rickets if it doesn't already have it.

It's always weird seeing American possums. They look evil but they are part of a healthy ecosystem.
Our possums look like cute fluffy little sofas, but they are destructive pests.

Since when did they change it to opossum? When I was comin' up it was just possum. Opossum makes it sound like he's irish or something.
BourbonandStargate t1_j6eapj9 wrote
It's either. Possum is just shortened from Opossum in North America. That's the layman explanation. Technically, Opossums are the NA variety while Possums are found in Australia and New Zealand.

If you google it, the correct name is Opossum, we had to change it due to high demands from the Irish people

Nothing is dirty about opossums. Very clean animals.

Sure this is real. Heidi the opossum that lived in the Zoo Leipzig had the same issue with here eyes.
MushroomEmu34 t1_j6fewew wrote
the issue with its eye is that they make her too cute

I love these silly trash cats. The sad reality is that their lifespan is usually right around 2 years. This one is a rehab animal and is probably older than that, and when they get past 2-3, they start to look really goofy. My family had one as a pet that our very maternal dog brought home one morning. Once he was mature, he’d kind of come and go. He ate from the cat’s food and would wander and eat bugs and do opossum things. He stopped coming home right around that 2 year mark. I wish I could find another baby trash cat!

How are they as a pet? I’ve encountered many in the wild just being pissy and hissing but harmless for a wild animal.
Exhumedatbirth76 t1_j6ey03p wrote
I doubt they make good pets, but a museum by me had a rescued Possum that could not be released. He would wander the halls looking for scratches from patrons.

Why because it's cross eyed? No.

it's not actually cross-eyed, the white around its eyes is caused by excess fat. this opossum is obese.
