Neither possums nor opossums, which are unrelated, dig holes and are not a threat to people or most pets. They can be a nuisance near homes where they may get into garbage, bird feeders, or pet food.

It is important to note that the name "possum" only refers to the marsupials native to Australia and some surrounding islands. They are very different from opossums, which also do not dig burrows in winter, as their claws are too soft. Possums and opossums are not related.
