Opossum
You’d think that looking like satan’s idea of a lap dog would keep predators at bay but sometimes being terrifyingly hideous just isn’t enough to keep a girl safe. We all know that opossums play dead but they have another, lesser known, trick to thoroughly convince predators that they will not make a good meal. These trash monsters can work up massive amounts of saliva until they’re literally blowing spit bubbles out of their nose and slobbering everywhere. This makes it look even sicker than it normally does, which turns all but the most desperate animals off.
