Sadly they seem to displace the native opossum where ever they go. I prefer opossums. They are basically unable to carry disease because their immune system is so powerful
Did you know it's almost impossible for opossums to get rabies?

Your opossums have moved into the Pacific Northwest, though, and continue to spread. Our climate suits them. They are cute - even though they have more teeth than any other mammal. I think it makes their smile bigger. : )
Very interesting!
I know that opossums can eat a lot of ticks too. We seem to have both in abundance here ( armadillos & opossums)
Interesting. They seem to not overlap here. For years I've watched the "front line" steadily move north and east where dead opossums switch to dead armadillos on the highway whenever I drive south.
