Opossums used to scare me a bit as a kid. Like, the first thing I'd see when turning on the outdoor lights would be this giant white rat-creature clinging to the side of a tree.
Naturally I warmed up to them when I grew up.

They also have a forked penis and 13 nipples. So cleary they are the superior life form. 
And they have a natural baby-holder (pouch). Truly superior

My indoor cat escaped one time(he's fine) so I set food out and aimed a cheap ip camera at it hoping to see him. One night I saw something on it, and when I got out there I had cornered an opossum. It was frozen completely still with it teeth bared and froth in its mouth. It was pretty freaky looking.
Did it hiss? 
They're all bark and no bite. Their signature fighting move is to play dead until you lose interest.
It might have hissed before I got outside, but I didn't hear it. It tried to run away from the direction I was coming from and got stuck in the corner between a fence and my garage.
I used to think that move was a silly adaptation until I saw it in person. I think opossums are absolute cuties, but this one was pretty freaky looking, I get why it works now.
