My husband saw an opossum for the first time in his life the other night.

“What is it? A mongoose? A rat?”

I feed a big ass possum on my front porch every night. Everyone needs a porch possum.

I'm now laughing into my brunch beer hearing "what is it? A mongoose?" In a thick English accent. I haven't even heard the word mongoose since reading rikki tikki tavi a million years ago lol

The dwarf mongoose played dead to try and play with the hornbill. They are symbiotic species; the mongooses stir up bugs and such that the hornbills eat. The narrators had never observed that behavior before. I can’t stop laughing whenever I watch it! Glad you enjoyed it.

when I was a teenager I had a boyfriend from Lithuania. the first time he saw a possum he got out of the car and started running after it going "WHAT IS THATTTT"

he also did that with poison oak and touched it...
