Is it a rat or a possum?
The answer is: No! While opossums resemble rodents with their long faces and a big rat-like tail, opossums are not rodents. Rather, there are marsupials!

How do animals protect themselves from predators?
Some animals protect themselves from predators by looking very similar to another animal, a practice called mimicry. Among the best known examples of this is viceroy and monarch butterflies, which look strikingly similar except for one black stripe viceroys have on their hind wings that monarchs do not have.
Should wild animals be trained to protect themselves?
No amount of “training” can prevent terrified wild animals from behaving instinctively or defensively, and trainers and handlers cannot always protect themselves and the public. In February, a Scottish man vacationing in Thailand was killed and his 16-year-old daughter was injured when the elephant that they were riding lashed out.
How do lizards protect themselves from predators?
The Texas horned lizard will squirt blood from its eyes at a predator to keep itself safe. And a sea cucumber will shoot its digestive organs out its anus to protect itself. In some cases, the sea cucumber’s intestines can be poisonous to predators.
