They do eat to ticks, but they’re resistant to Lyme disease, not rabies. It’s not that opossum hunt ticks or anything, they’re just real good at grooming, and as ticks are real good at sticking to furry critters, opossum naturally end up fighting both ticks numbers and Lyme disease incidents.
So, yeah, same same but different.

Three vaginas instead of immunity to rabies seems like a bad trade.

I dunno, as a human, I enjoy my vagina a fair bit, and rabies has never been a problem. Id go for this choice too.
Unless it comes with 3 uterusses too, in which case I’d rather eat ticks.

But hey on the upside you give birth to extremely tiny babies and then raise them in a pouch!

Sure, if you just focus on the rabies. But if you invest based off the vagina to rabies ratio, you’ll see good returns.

I have dreamt of having three vaginas before; I’ve never dreamt about being immune to rabies. 🤷🏻♂️
