They are cool!!

I'm sure their mothers think they're adorable toes. This little piggy went to market...

This little possum went to the garbage pail

😆

Have you seen some human’s feet? Don’t knock the possums.

Instant follow!

I think we all assumed you knew that. Look at the rest of the animal. Normal feet would be out of place

No one's out here criticizing YOUR hands. Sheesh. Can't a possum LIVE?

OMG!! I am so stealing this! Where's it from??

Instant follow btw

We’re all fucked up in our entirety, not just our feet.

Holee schitt, MTG reborn??!!!!

I think they're cute critters.

Everyone who posted positively about possum fingers in this thread, I'm going to follow you. Please follow me *star hands 💕💕💕

Just passing through. And, by the way, Opossums have fucked up feet 😊 hi! 👋 Bye!

U Moron - those are- prehensile toes- because he is the only Marsupial living in America - {like -kangaroos an other species from -Aussie-Land - ]-The Mexican subspecies are tree dwellers - smaller and - so cute-

Talk about bad feet

It's not that bad. They're still better than Marjorie Taylor Greene's

And a crazy low body temperature; that's why they're immune to rabies. And they eat ticks. And cat food. The have a very fast morbidity, live to about 4, get old and die really quickly. I am a fan. Probably an interesting line of study..that morbidity thing...

Cuz it makes no difference.

Pretty cool, and takes opposable thumbs to a whole new level, opposable fingers.

Marjorie Taylor Green is a decendent.

Those are hands, not feet

I think you mean ADORABLE feet!

And they make the cutest prints in snow

Opossum carry disease. Opossums can transmit Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) to horses. Causes Neurological failure

Pretty much every feature is pretty unattractive..

Because they're far more important than that. If not for possum, we'd not have snake bite antidote. They're FAR more useful than most humans, regardless of feet.

Something you may not know about them. They carry a Parasite and when they squat in the grass they pass it on to Horses that graze. The Horses develop EPM which is a killer. I lost my 25 year old Quarter Horse & a 21 yo Thoroughbred Mare. It was devastating. Raccoons also have it.

May i ask which parasite?

I don't know but it acts like extreme Multiple Sclerosis in Humans. I had them both in PA which is Ground Zero for this. Still awful.

It is so hard because I love all animals. NJ does not have any Oppossums or Raccoons due to the USET being there. The Horses are too valuable so they destroy the Wild Animals. There is no cure.

That’s very sad!

I still cry.

They are also a lot of positives, they keep your yard clean of ticks, roaches, mice, rats, etc., as long as you are aware to keep pets away from their urine, feces.

Feet? Have you ever seen their eyes at night? Thought I came face to face with an alien…

You ever see goat 🐐 eyes 👀 creepy. No wonder people think goats are evil. 😈

People think goats are evil because people are superstitious fools

Am I the only one not gazing at animal eyes

You’re missing out. Every day I gaze longingly into my cats eyes

Clearly 😂😂

Billy Goats are evil, smelly, noisy creatures that pee on themselves to be more attractive to the girl goats. Girl goats are cool.

A friend of mine once had a pet possum who was real cool but she didn't like me very much. I myself had a very young one hang out on my porch for a few weeks and we got to be buds. He'd come into the kitchen for treats and watch TV with us

Once I had a momma possum leave her dying baby on my deck. I covered it with an old washcloth, and by morning, the poor thing had died. 😔

They live in the trees.They have to have some big fingers to hang on with!

What were you expecting hooves 🤔

That's not true. When you can buy a bag of chicken feet at the Piggley Wiggly in Rose Hill. That's fucked up.

Many cultures eat chicken feet. Don’t be ignorant. I can go to Bravo right now and buy a burnt goats head too. I don’t, because it’s not my culture and I don’t know what they use it for, but I think they should still be able to buy it, just like I buy my Captain Crunch. Without weird looks from you

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I'm guilty of eating pickled pigs feet. Is that ignorant? Barbacoa too. Don't be an Ass U.

I’m sure they think the same about yours.

Those are his hands... his feet are in the back..... 😅

We've seen Marjorie Taylor Green's feet so these aren't so bad.

😎 ouch

I’m so mad I can’t find David Mallory Ortberg’s essay on possums. the-toast.net is gone and there’s no archive. The Internet is dumb and useless

You never asked.

Tiny starfish feet💛

Oh their feet are the least of the concerns, their heads can literally be just as big as their bodies and they can seriously grow to the size of a medium/large pit bulls torso in their limited 7 year life span. We had one a few weeks ago, had to be 30+ lbs and its head was truly half of its body.

Why are you insulting his little feet! They work for him and I’m sure he’s happy about that! 🤣

💙

They’re fucked up to you 🫵 possums are just fine with them. Why didn’t someone tell me electing a convicted felon would be bad for the country?

Rude

I’ve only seen them in grass. I learned something today. Weird feet, for sure

Nobody asked.

Those are hands not feet and he has 4 of them with opposable thumbs. I left a bowl of cat food, for a stray, out overnight (oops) and surprised an opossum sneaking dinner when I came out in the middle of the night to stretch my back and have a smoke.

Well, look what good it did to tell people that Marge Greene has fucked up feet. But than she hasn't the charm or good looks of a possum.

The better to grip your face

Creepy, aint it? 😄

The have opposable thumbs and are generally harmless.

Not a good idea to let them set up a condo under your deck either.

What do think possums think of MTG’s feet?

We didn’t think you were ready to know

They probably think the same of you

They aren’t fucked up you simply just can’t handle the swag

What are they like as pets?

Like cats with opposable thumbs.

No idea, I just have two cats

I have news for you, neither of the pets in the picture are commonly known as cats ;)

Maybe the possum thinks your feet are fucked up.

Because theyre very self conscious about it. Would you want your bunions discussed?

Hey, their feet work for them! 😁

Guess they work fine for the possums!

We thought we wouldn't need to because it's just assumed. Because they aaaalll fucked up 😭

Ma'am. Don't disrespect the fingies.

I guess I hold the minority opinion. Those feet make them even creepier to me. Gargantuan night time rats, invading my backyard

They’re not rodents, they’re marsupials. Additionally, it’s extremely unlikely for them to carry rabies due to their lower body temperature.

Intellectually I know that. But that isn’t enough for me to get past their rat-like appearance - even the damn tail! 😉

OH! I love possums and don't think their feet are fucked up. All animals are designed to survive... In TN I became friends with one. ha

Lol!

they're not fucked up, they just have little fingies :(

They're marsupials, too!

So cute!

Their hind feet have opposable thumbs too

I just never imagined they'd be splayed out like that 😬

It's because they have to safely transport all those babies! They need a wide stance and a good understanding! Plus they need to climb trees.

I thought the same thing

They have the coolest toes

We have them here on the farm in SE Kansas. They are harmless when well fed. I've heard they do horrible things to chickens, but our chickens don't mind them. Never seen one be aggressive, but they hiss and growl when threatened. THEY EAT TICKS!

Raccoons are the chicken murderers, not possums.

No, i have a firsthand account. But from my observations if they are not hungry they are very easy to get along with. I KNOW what raccoons do, we lost 6 at once. Ughhhh

Major clue here, you also have fingers, amazing right!

How about the f_cked up tail and nose

🤣🤣🤣

Ha! They’re for grabbing shit 🤣🤣🤣

😂

clearly messy eaters too
