Opossums are secretly protecting your health and possibly saving your life. A single opossum can eat 5,000 ticks a year which is extremely important given the rise in Lyme. Opossums are the only marsupial native to North America. #opossum #lyme #ticks #health #marsupial

Opossums are very clean animals and they will spend more time grooming themselves after a meal than eating it. This is why opossums are known for eating so many ticks: while lots of animals will pick up ticks while foraging for food, opossums are the only ones who will sit down and pull them off and eat them. This means that instead of those ticks getting their fill of blood, reproducing, and falling off to live another day and attach to a new animal, the tick life cycle is stopped in its tracks

Meet the unsung hero of your backyard. 🌙 THE OPOSSUM: 🎯 Eats up to 5,000 ticks PER SEASON → The same ticks that give you Lyme disease 🐍 Immune to snake venom → They EAT copperheads and rattlesnakes 🧬 Almost NEVER get rabies → Their body temperature is too low for the virus to survive 😱 That terrifying hissing? → It's a bluff. They're absolutely terrified of YOU. → They have 50 tee
