They don’t scream, they have a low-grade hiss. That’s got to be the quietest animals I’ve come in contact with.

Chestnut ,

They also don’t eat ticks

I know, but sir, this is a wendy’s. I’m just here spreading possum memes because I like them

Chestnut ,

True possum memes are cooler than ones that are misinformed!

You’re learning!

You may be lucky enough not to know that when ticks feed, their bodies expand and they get rounder and rounder (see Figure 4) until they can’t consume another drop and they drop off, a process called ‘feeding to repletion.’

Oh. So glad I know that phrase now. :|

I’m so disappointed because I had a tick on me recently and it was horrible

So, does anything actually eat ticks? Anyone knows?

None that specialize in them so most aren’t good tick deterrents
