possum

Possums may be known to most as pests, but here at Memebase we think they're kinda cute. So much so that we gathered up some memes in honor of them that we think you'll like.

It's often said that variety is the spice of life. If that's true, then this massive gallery of memes and shitposts is positively picante. From opossums to zany Tumblr posts and irreverent and pessimistic memes, this batch of entertainment has a bit of something for everyone.

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.
