Posting this, I realized that I didn’t know what the difference was between a possum and an opossum. I had always assumed they were different names for the same thing. While related, it seems the word “opossum” is used for species found in the Americas, while “possums” is the name of their cousins in Australia and the Malay Archipelago.
