Precise cause of death was stupidity.

Like coral snakes and cobras. Same neurotoxic type venom. Eventually paralyzes breathing ability. Nice.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To prove to the possum it could be done!(Same for the porcupine in the Rockies)

>> If it can kill you, it’s not a ‘pet’...

A couple hundred pounds of body weight is all that stands between my kitty and my death, if I am late on one of her 37 daily mealtimes.
But most of the time, she seems nice. ;-)

That would be the second person in history killed by Gila Monster, I think.

A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.

My money goes on some kind of immune reaction, whether typical allergic or not.

A hamster can kill you. Just takes a while.

“A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.”
