    They don’t actually, but they’re adorable and people should leave them alone.

      Actually, they do. The ticks attach to them during their nocturnal travels, then they eat them during grooming.

        I’m talking about the rumor that possums kill lots of ticks which isn’t true.

          Oh, yes. I see that a 2021 study countered the the 2009 one. Too bad, we need to kill lots of ticks!
