possum

Possums have slowly become the new trash panda, we can't seem to stop enjoying their insane screaming ways. It has brought joy into our lives and we refuse to let it go. If we're totally honest, we think possums are really cute in their weird destructive ways. Especially when they smile!

But more often than not, we see these little guys screaming and that's also a mood. Perhaps that's why they've gained so much popularity in the past year or so. People can relate to that anger and to screaming at everything and nothing to relieve stress. Heck, we've been screaming all year and we've never felt close to these possums. 

Possums may just be the official spirit animal of 2020. Get ready to face yourself in these relatable possum memes! 

See? They don't only just scream. 

We do love those screaming possum memes though. We wanted to share another side to these screaming cuties! A side of them being sweet, and sporting a big wide grin! 

Go on and look at these photos... then look straight into our eyes and say you didn't smile. You won't be able to. 

Nothing brings on a smile like being smiled at! And if you need another positive energy boost -- check out this small gallery of awwdorable baby animals! 

Bree Blakeman arrived at work on Monday morning and was sure her office was invaded and torn apart by thieves. Shee was in for even more of a shock when she found out the intruder hadn't been looking for valuables to steal...because it was actually a cute possum. turns out, the poor guy somehow found himself trapped inside her office and while trying to find a way out, trashed the place: "It wasn't until I went to check my computer on the far side of the room that I noticed a fluffy little face staring at me from behind the computer," Blakeman told BuzzFeed News. "And that's when I also noticed the toilet droppings and urine everywhere too. It all made sense." Not surprisingly, the little intruder became an instant meme.  

This list is positively possum! That's supposed to read as 'p-awesome', if that didn't come across...

Anyways. Possums are strange creatures of the night that have been getting more and more spotlight attention in the past few years. Not to any liking of their own, though. They would prefer to remain in that darkness, watching all, and more importantly, eating garbage. 

Here are 22 garbage-loving possums for us to admire from afar. Trust us, they prefer it this way. 

Well, there's something you don't see every day! Sally and Jon Watkinson, from Melbourne, Australia, found a baby possum nested in their Puli dog's fur, after going out on a walk. The possum decided to hitch a lift on her dog's back, for unknown reasons, but it sure makes a bizarre and funny story to tell! 

In their viral Facebook post, they mentioned that their dog barely noticed the possum was there. It was totally cool, calm and collected and wasn't barking frantically or showing any other signs of annoyance.

Yet the strangest part of this story has yet to come... The couple went to the vet with their dog and possum attached and got that taken care of...but the exact same thing happened again the very next day! A new baby possum attached to their dog's back, and they wrote that the sight, "almost made the vet nurse fall off her chair." 

Pretty strange, huh?

The only difference was that the newest baby possum was a baby male and not a female like the one the day before. 

This is hilarious! The artist 

Sometimes you have to be quick to make sure no one steals your meal...
