Typically when someone says "America" without a prefixed North, South, or Central, they mean the USA.

I caught this guy just a few days ago, I released him on the far side of the property, where we're backed against a land trust. Cute, doofy little fellas.

>>5016326
every english-speaking country teaches the continents with the americas as separate, as does every other country except latin america and for some reason greece

>>5015947 (OP)
Anyone else under the impression these things are just furred lizards?

Don't get me wrong, love me some 'possums, but man... they don't think too fast.

>had an extremely vivid dream where i had 2 opossum pets
is this a sign from god?

>>5019475
I would tell you to make your dream a reality, but the unfortunate thing is they only live for about two to three years, so be prepared for that.

>>5016986
America = US
North America = Continent
South America = Continent
The Americas = Both continents
And no you aren't Britiah.

>>5019505
America is continent
North America is region of America
South America is region of America
UnitedStates is name of country you live in
The Americas is Stupid
I am British, from Britain, you are Stupid American

>>5019510
>I am British
>types like an ESL

>>5019510
North America and South America are two separate continents, Sanjeev.

>>5019519
I'm British, I'm from Wales, I speak Welsh, and I speak English, and we call America the continent, and that is accurate because it is all Connected: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, these are the continents, there are 5 continents

>>5019543
Was your school a shack in the middle of a moor surrounded by sheep? Everywhere I look, others in the UK say they learned both North and South America. Leaving them as one big America doesn't even make sense logically if you're also considering Europe and Asia as separate. The isthmus of Panama is narrow and a perfect place to split the continents in two; Asia and Europe have no perfect boundary between them, especially not in the Ural/Kazakhstan area.
Also you forgot Antarctica, so maybe I'm just falling for bait.

>>5019548
America, Europe, Asia, (split by ural mountains, historical important border, everyone has always known about it), africa, Austalia, these are the continents, this is how it always has been, you are just trying to take America name for yourself

>>5019548
and antarctica unpopulated, there are just scientists there, call it a continent sure, it's just not "the 5 continents" (where people live) which is implicit, but understandable

I work at a wildlife rehab where i get to work with these goobers. so stinking cute, but man does a room full of them reek. only been nipped once, most of the time they just sit there with their mouths open and growl a bit.

The fact that a group of opossum isn't called a posse is a crime.

>>5020201
Why arent they washed if they stink

>only marsupial to colonize the placental-dominated parts of north america and stay there
>most successful marsupial in terms of how much land it inhabits
>all of this despite having all of the typical problems marsupials have (dumb as fuck, can't run fast) and having no real defenses against predators

The Virginia Opossum is pretty cool when you think about it.

Possums are the cutest critters but I don't care for rats. I think it's the superior cone shaped faces and the bigger eyes.

>>5020219
you generally can't handle an animal enough to wash it. a lot of small mammals will just die from shock, so it's better to not touch them at all. they're better off a little dirty. that, and they just stink! even a fully domestic possum would be a smelly guy, they're wild animals. dogs and cats have been bred to stink a little bit less but animals besides them tend not to smell very good.

>>5019997
>Ural mountains are a good divider because of history
>but a swampy isthmus which has historically impeded human movement greatly does not qualify because... reasons

Seems legit.

>>5019548
Africa, America, Antartica, Australia and Eurasia. Those are the continents.

>>5021646
no history in america stupid, there have only been people there for some time.

>>5022494
30,000 years isn't enough for you bongoloid? Eurasia has been a single landmass for over 100 million years and the "dividing line" is thousands of kilometers long. North American and South America have had a narrow landbridge for less than 10 million years. NA and SA are their own continents, Europe and Asia are not.

Leave Mohammed alone. The inbreeding really hurts the brain. Particularly the language, spatial, reality and heterosexual parts.

>every english-speaking country teaches the continents with the americas as separate,
What
How bizarre

>>5022578
they are very distinct cultural, with europe and asia very important distinction, and with america there is no distinction, just people drop there and do nothing.

>>5022586
You wish, Lol

>>5022595
See, nobody believes America is two continent except dumb american

Colloquially the US is referred to as America. When people want to refer to one of the two American continents they typically use North America and South America. If you say "America" when referring to North America as a continent you are just being obtuse.

>>5016326
America is two continents.

>>5022812
>>5022844
America is Continent. United States is country.

Post possum instead of arguing over retarded shit.

this exactly how my dog and toddler look at me when I lay on the floor after work

>>5015947 (OP)
Are they friendly if you meet them in the wild? I know they are prone to scream at you but I was wondering if they bite too

>>5028159

Huh.

>africa is continent
Also bump
Raccoons are great

I rescued this female about 18 months ago. She did not appreciate it at fucking all. Hid in her enclosure most of the time, literally pissed on everything all of the other times. She got so shy she was pissing her nesting box I made her instead of coming out, even if I was in bed with all the lights out.
Ended up waiting as long as I could for the weather to turn a little warmer before releasing her. I still put out food and she still takes massive shits all around my pond in the front yard.
I wish she had been one of the friendly ones.
