possum

Here's your fun animal trivia for the day: did you know that possums and opossums are two different species? The opossum is the only marsupial native to North America, whereas the possum is native to Australia, New Guinea, and other areas in the Pacific. The two also look quite different. 

And lastly, are these little guys cute or not? Please let us know because we honestly can't decide.

You deserve a break, don't you? 

Hot Pockets for the eccentric palate!

You like possums? Well, these are the sick sad memes for you, you idiot. 

Carpe frickin' diem.

The East Coast has Punxsutawney Phil. Sand Mountain has "Sand Mountain Sam" - this opossum that supposedly predicts the weather. This year, after Sam predicted an early spring, a photo of the critter has gone viral on social media - inspiring a whole lot of memes.
