Hey now, Oz managed to introduce possums into NZ too.
But if you're genuinely wondering, what we call opossums are called possums in the US

My favorite game is Untitled Goose Game.
Nothing comes close to making my children laugh as much as that game. I love when they play it.

My owl friend has returned to my neighborhood and I can hear him hooting at night. I've never met, interacted with, or seen this friend, but I love him all the same.

Actually owls are really stupid. Like surprisingly stupid
How so? I thought they're great hunters?
Compared to say, a crow, an owl is a certified fucking moron
Big eyes -> no room for brain
when it looks at a crossword, it thinks it can solve it. but it can't.

What about crows? Crows are pretty cool
They'll remember that they were slighted in this post and make the Nebraska Humane Society pay for this insult
I think my retirement plan is to try to train crows to be absolute menaces to society. Like, teach them to pick locks or the best kinds of rocks to break glass (to get into vending machines).
Geese make a great defensive line.
They're also citizens, native-born.
Imagine how elections would go if animals coukd vote.
Perhaps we should have designated human voters to represent animals.
In the Netherlands, we have a political party to represent them. It’s called the Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the animals) and they’re a green left wing party.
I'm from Nebraska and volunteered for them a few times and I feel like they've probably got a rough position being as Nebraskans seem to hate wildlife in every context but hunting and fishing.
Edit: also the geese seem pretty passive there, never personally had nor witnessed a negative interaction with them.

Geese saved Rome!
(Of course, having the city infested with geese instead of Gauls might not have been a particularly preferable outcome for its citizens, but at least they were already used to the geese, inasmuch as one can get used to geese.)
"Squirells"
It's a crossbreed of squirrels and Purell
At least they're clean!
