THE OPOSSUM - UNDERRATED AND MISUNDERSTOOD
What crazy creatures!
When you live in the wild, you get a better understanding of creatures in their natural environment. While many animals can also be found in the city, it's the ones out in the woods that are living more in the way they were designed to live. For some years now we have been interacting with Opossums and educating ourselves about them. We took it so far that we now even put out a book about them to help educate others.
We just caught this Jill (female opossum) the other night, and she was rather relaxed to interact with. She cooperated well while Pinkie-Pepper shot a "commercial" for our book with her in it. It's amazing how many incredible things there are to learn about these creatures, and I'm amazed at how little the average person knows about them.
We find that the more people know about creatures like the Opossum, the kinder they are to them and the less likely they are to kill them. Unfortunately many are killed by people who see them as rats, or as threats. While they can steal eggs from the coop, possibly kill your poultry or even bite you if handled, mostly they are quiet and gentle, and should be left in the wild. Here's some more photos of the one we just relocated. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, the lack of information or getting carried away by appearances leads to mistreatment, but fortunately we have noble people and, like you, interested in loving these little animals, I did not know that they allowed themselves to be hugged.
Great photos!
Cheers!
