You see two opossums on your kitchen floor, sharing scraps from the trash can, blushing and smiling at each other. They both flinch when they look up at you. Grey Opossum: Eek! Don’t hurt us! Goes limp, playing dead. Blue Opossum: Stands protectively in front of Grey Opossum, despite their own nose twitching in fear. S-s-stay back!
