    The Opossum is the North American animal Didelphis virginiana

    In North America sometimes the Opossum will be called a Possum.

    The Possum however doesn’t live in North America and is bushy tailed.

      sometimes

      I have to disagree there. I have never either in life, or any form of media (that isn’t written) heard anyone pronounce the first “o” in opossum.
