John,
America's only native marsupial, opossums, have a bad reputation—but they don't deserve it.
Did you know that one opossum can consume around 5,000 ticks in a single season? These unfussy omnivores do more than protect us by eating disease-carrying ticks; they also clean up our ecosystems by eating rotting plants and dead animals.
Can you give $30 or whatever you can spare to protect opossums and all of America's wildlife?
Opossums are nature's pest control and cleanup crew, but many people don't realize they're essential, and may even try to harm them. We're trying to change public perception of opossums, but we can't do it alone.
That's why we need your help and your $30 to support conservation and our work educating the public about vital species like opossums.
Some people falsely believe that opossums are aggressive and transmit dangerous diseases like rabies through bites. In reality, these nocturnal creatures are resistant to rabies and are more likely to play dead than attack when they encounter humans.
So if you see an opossum in your garden, yard, or neighborhood, don't call an exterminator! This misunderstood marsupial keeps our ecosystems healthy and keeps humans safe from disease.
Opossums are awesome, but they need our help to spread the word. Will you give $30 right now?
Thank you for supporting opossums and all of America's wildlife.
