I did not know this about possum....

[Uncle Pervey]

besides being a tasty treat for Joe Buck and his swamp folk kin, it is also immune to poisonous snake bites. In fact one of the possum's favorite meals is snake. The rattlesnake and Copperhead probably developed their poison to combat snake eating possums. At this point in the evolutionary chain possums have the upper hand but rattlesnakes will probably get better at killing in the future.
Get bit by a rattler and die... blame the possums. :rofl:

such great memories of the little guy, at least until that day we thought he was dead and put him in that box and buried him. Couple hours later we could hear him scratching and clawing to get out...apparently he was only playing. :sadangel:

Possum isn't actually that bad barbecued. A little greasy but it is tasty. And no, I am not bullshitting. I am dead serious.
