How many opossum memes have you come across lately? The answer is not nearly enough! We are here to change that and give you the appropriate dose of chonky opossum humor to get your day going and your energy flowing. 

These animals are most famous for "playing possum." When threatened by dogs, foxes, or bobcats, opossums sometimes flop onto their sides and lie on the ground with their eyes closed or staring fixedly into space. They extend their tongues and generally appear to be dead. This ploy may put a predator off its guard and allow the opossum an opportunity to make its escape. These Oscar worthy actors are known for their silliness and exceptional acting skills, now let's have a laugh.
