Possums and Opossums
I hope she enjoys them like my Katrina did Barry.
I can't say I know a great deal about the details of New World fauna Thomas, but don't you guys have opossums? According to the little I know, opossums are also marsupials but bare no resemblence to Australian possums. The word possum is a *******isation of your word opossum, coming from what early Australian settlers thought our possums looked most like. Apart from the fact that they don't bounce like 'Roos, our possums are virtually a miniature kangaroos. They have very similar movements and characteristics.
