I love them. πŸ₯Ή They're like cat-rats, two of my favorite animals combined.

They can get into your garbage. I think that's the only reason people consider them pests. They're not as as clever, determined, nor aggressive as raccoons though. If you feed a Raccoon, it will spread the word around town, and within a month you'll be like that lady who called 911 because 100 raccoons were stalking her. I've never seen more than a couple opossums together at the same time.
