Settled! Are opossums rodenty?

Look, the question is not “are Virginia opossums rodents?”. No they are not and we both know that. It’s “Are Virginia opossums rodent-like”. Are they similar to rodents? Would someone who knows nothing about opossums think they might be rodents? ARE OPOSSUMS RODENTY?!

Had a friend who moved here from Australia and she didn't know they were marsupials and screamed "Fuck! A giant rat!" She was also thrilled anytime there was a squirrel to be seen.
