High tailing looks cute and the visual pun is clever. The pose would remind a person of potato's unique worldview, having the gift of movement while resting in place.
Such short lifespans... sad. I didn't realise. Our common possums, the brushtail possum and the ringtail possum live about 7 to 10 years in the wild and longer in captivity. There is a young brushtail who has moved into the neighbourhood and he stares suspiciously down at me when I go on my walks at night. Ours only have 1 to 2 young at a time while your opossums seem to have a football team. Potato is very cute though. I've heard people say that they look ugly but he's adorable... gorgeous!
The switch between talking about his dead body's pose and him being a fatty made me laugh. A gruesome topic, but I guess it happens to us all someday. I think any pose is fine as long as his glamorous neck rolls are showcased.
I imagine potato is already frozen in time, but my friends and I would like to know how you preserved his spirit. "When possums fly" was our favourite posthumous posture and "look what I can do" was a close second.
Could you do the warrior one in Remington fashion, with the noble wounded possum coming home with his weapons on his steed? But what the heck would a possum be riding, and what would he consider weapons? It bears at least seconds of serious cogitation.
Not in the wild. Possums store extra fat around the cartilage in their tail. This guy is obese. Not saying he hasn't had a good life but I'm conflicted knowing his life has been cut short bc of the weight.
On second thought, and it's none of my business; but when his time comes, that the whole playing dead thing is no longer optional, I'd prefer to see him buried or cremated with a proper marsupemorial. That way, with his little body at rest or cremated, his little possum soul might be free to fly to Orion, there to dwell with possums if pharaonic splendor and wisdom such as Ptossum and Impossutep; or perhaps to traverse Yggdrasil on the Norse Celestial Clothesline to enter Valhallo'possums; or to ascend to dwell with Possum Above in the Happy Possum Grounds, where there are plenty of nicely appointed hollow trees with central heating for everybody, where the choicest of fresh garbage appears in quantity every perpetually moonlit night, and where all the dogs are wussies. Perhaps far fetched, of course, but not much more so than the actual world if you really think about it; and anyway, the interstitial prospects afforded by the geometry of current quantum speculation, e.g. And especially the multi worlds hypothesis, at least allies remotely for the possumbility.
Let's hear it for wussie dogs. And wussie motorists. And superwussie hunters. Did you know that the derivation of the word 'wussie' is 'wise'? Uh huh, it is.
I usually like your videos, but this angered me. I'd never make light of the death of such an enlightened creature. We can joke about low-lifes like humans, but not something beautiful and much greater than us.
While I truly appreciate your sentiment, 3642130, I reserve the right to joke about anything. AND, if you think about it, the joke is on the human, as in all the ME Pearl videos. Possums are an excellent vehicle to expose human foibles and faibless.
MEpearlA oh I still love you, I just didn't expect that take on it. Ive buried ppl and I've buried pets. But, The pets still hurt the worst. Opossums are so far advanced ,ppl can't even fathom. They're here to clean up our "civilized" destruction, then they return to their home galaxy called Perfectica.
Potato please live forever
You are hilariously fantastic!
I think potato looks happiest when he eats- so maybe you should pose him as if he was eating :)
High tailing looks cute and the visual pun is clever. The pose would remind a person of potato's unique worldview, having the gift of movement while resting in place.
Face buried in food dish; " Never had to work for my food." 😊
I'm dead he just keeps eating hahahaha
This channel is so good and pure and I love this so much- this opossum is so cute. Bye mom was by far the best possum pose.
This needs to win "Best YT Video" hands down.
celebration o life definitely! love these videos.What a lovely funny lady.She woud make the perfect wife I think
"Bye Mom" is definitely the cutest, followed by "When Possums Fly!"
I'm voting for "Bye Mom".

When possums fly is the best one!
Potato is so adorable! Love watching that "fatty" munch on snacks especially since he is living completely in the moment: Damn tomorrow. Eat today!
Potato as 'Look what I can do' is spectacular and has my vote.
I just love you so much and I know you are a Earth Angel and my hero! You are my Spirit Animal! Much Love to you from East Tennessee! 🖤
Potato is my shero! I hate to think he has most likely left this planet by now (2019). I LOVE the way they smack their food!!!
Hightailing it outta here. 😂😂
I had one of my female opossums live 5 years.
Thinking of a dead Potato makes me sad. But I like "Look what I can do!"
I hope Potato’s spirit is doing well in Patagonia.
I read the title and started laughing before I even watched the video. Too funny!
When possums fly gets my vote
The switch between talking about his dead body's pose and him being a fatty made me laugh. A gruesome topic, but I guess it happens to us all someday. I think any pose is fine as long as his glamorous neck rolls are showcased.
impaled on a stanchion !!!
wonderful video. thank you!
Is/was MEpearlA once an actress or english teacher?
No, she was a squirrel. Now a dead squirrel. With an AGENDA.
Got that right ! I love it when humans pay attention. Gives ME a reason to live, so to speak.
Wounded warrior, for the win!

For sure celebration of life pose!
I hope potato is doing okay
If he was already 2-year-old at the beginning of 2017, it's 99.3% sure he's dead now... 😢 He was a good boy, and always will be in Possum Heaven...
Celebration of life for sure!
Washington State 🇺🇸
Bye foe now,..... bye bye!! Can you see me waving
The "Bye Mom" pose is my favorite. It was hard to pick it over the pooping pose.
First comment! I love this channel!
I like the Bye mom pose. But I will be very sad when it happens. I had my ferrets cremated and I keep them near me in little urns.
celebration of life !
i'm shook. also when possums fly.
Bye mom is clearly the best 👍
let Potato's character shine through the incomparable pooping pose!!
Could you do the warrior one in Remington fashion, with the noble wounded possum coming home with his weapons on his steed? But what the heck would a possum be riding, and what would he consider weapons? It bears at least seconds of serious cogitation.
Perhaps he could be riding home on one of those wussy dogs of which you speak. Thank you for your charm and wit.
Can "Wounded Warier" be combined with "Bye, Mom"? I would call it "Noble Sacrifice".
bye mom is my favorite
Why not honor the way Potato lived and have his final pose be him holding some food with his mouth open to take a bite?
I was wondering why does the base of his tail look swollen like that? ( I think celebrating life looks best on potato !)
kali mabel my opossum has it too! i think its just a lot of muscle there
Um, yeah, sure, that's what it is, muscle. You bet, Muscle.
lolol... thanks, also if i can ask, how do you guys have opossums?
By training and becoming licensed to care for ill, injured, and orphaned wildlife, specifically small mammals (or marsupials, as the case may be).
I am particularly fond of “When Opossums fly.” You didn’t ask him directly. That might be the polite thing to do.
I think made into a lamp could be unique and stylish
Eeee, pangolins!!! I can't help myself, I'm partial to pooping possum.
They just have way to short of a life span. He’s beautiful even if a senior citizen.❤
I'd follow potatos last wishes and allow him to stay Pooping Permanently
OMG I love you!
Possum galloping and winning the Kentucky Derby.
the pooping pose!
how about "possums rampant"?
I love you
definetly celebration
Is it normal for their tails to get that big??
Not in the wild. Possums store extra fat around the cartilage in their tail. This guy is obese. Not saying he hasn't had a good life but I'm conflicted knowing his life has been cut short bc of the weight.
Wounded warrior!
When possums fly !
When opossums fly.

Slay queen
I think Potato is perfect! :D
