I concur.  BAX ships a surprising amount of Opposums (why anyone would want
to ship a Possum is well beyond me, but hey, it ain't my possum) so I get to
see them close up and alive.  That rodent in the link is cute.  Opposums are
some of the ugliest creatures I've ever seen.  Conical, hairless snouts and
rows of jagged teeth.  Yeesh.
