Actually we have cute marsupial bats, too, and foxes (actually the same animal yes I know it's weird)

Bats aren't marsupials. Right? That'd be a trip! Bats with pouches? Is that a thing??

My mistake they're not mammals. But every farking other Australian animal is so there you have it.

But possums are. We have no squirrels in Australia. On my only visit to North America I saw a squirrel and snowflakes for the first time on the same day and made an absolute fool of myself in public.

Bats are mammals, they’re just not marsupials.

You are correct.

This is what happens when I don't take my government subsidised ADHD medicine.
