FAQs About Opossum Puns and Jokes

Are possum puns and opossum puns about the same animal?

In everyday American English, “possum” often means the Virginia opossum, North America’s marsupial. Technically, possums are a different group native to Australia and nearby regions; the National Park Service explains the distinction.

What does “playing possum” mean in opossum jokes?

It means becoming motionless as if dead. For Virginia opossums, this is an involuntary stress response rather than a deliberate trick, according to the National Park Service.
