Real or Fake, what's your opinion?

It seems like in the past year or two we've been hearing a lot about how possums eat incredible amounts of ticks every day. Now I find this on the internet and I can't tell if it's real or not. What do you folks think, do possums eat tens of thousands of ticks every day and do they even set up grooming stations where they take ticks from other critters?

Below is the caption and pic I found

Possum pulling ticks off a deer's face. Tick infestations are serious in the dry months and have even killed young ones. Possums love to eat ticks. This trail cam photo shows how nature in balance works.

They are also good "watchdogs". Daughter has two and they sure raise a ruckus when someone shows up. We have also watched them pick ticks off of the goats.
