Hands down, the best thing that happened to the planet Earth is the array of animals it so lovingly carries. Of course, things would be much better if humans wouldn't interfere with their existence – however, sadly, that's an ongoing matter that will continue being a problem for a while. Still, it's safe to say that without animals, our existence would be much duller – as seeing their adorable faces somewhere on our feed can make our whole day or even week better.
Nowadays, it makes folks raise their eyebrows if someone says they don't own a pet, or even worse when they are totally not interested in having one. Dogs and cats have replaced children for many families and have been great companions to those who chose to have kids. Though, when there's no possibility of owning a pet for one reason or another, the internet comes to the rescue and does a great job of satisfying your cute-animal "cravings". Bored Panda decided to gather the most adorable pictures of possums and opossums that will undoubtedly brighten your day.

#48 Gloria The Possum
Meet Gloria. Gloria was shaking. She was terrified. And her 7, 8, 9(?) babies clung to her back and neck with all their strength. Thing is, as a nocturnal animal, Gloria shouldn’t be out during daylight. The fact that she was out in the open at 6:45AM carrying her entire family on her back means something went terribly wrong. This poor baby and her babies must have lost their safe home, and she was looking for safety... Or help. We called a vet, they recommended we call Malibu wildlife rescue. Malibu recommended we leave Gloria as-is, as long as she didn’t look injured (which she didn’t).
