No, not idiots! Just not prepared for the invention of the car! - It doesn't act like the other predators!

At least they are in motion and just not sure where to run... I feel bad for the possum... The whole playin' dead thing worked great for every other predator in history, now all of the sudden, they are dropping like flies no matter how well they perform it.

I dunno... I just don't see how getting in front of the predator is a survival trait.

As for possum, they seem to be doing pretty well here in Texas. And as for them playing dead, I never understand that trait either... if I were a wild predator, I'd just look on that like a free meal...
