THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 58 - OPOSSUM
These guys seem to really like smiling for the camera.
I said this last time, and I'll say it again: While I may be "friends" with these guys and even hold a wild one, they are nothing to mess with can cause serious injury if they choose to bite you. What you see me do is just that, me doing something. There is no need to ever mimic my antics or try to interact with wild animals in these ways.
The Opossum is the most common marsupial in the Western Hemisphere. I share quite a bit about it in the video below, but forgot to mention that they also eat a lot of ticks, which is a good thing. Also, if you ever wondered what they sounded like, it "growls" a few times in the video. If you want to see more photos of this one, click here.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Possums are terribly cute! I had 2 in my life that we hand raised , such sweet creatures despite their teethy grins lol
Whoop oh, my! those got me nervous!
You're really WILD, damn! Sure you'd loke it if i call you weird!?
Can't imagine enough...this is awesome love indeed!
Cheers!
Glad you liked it!
Wow.. amazing..
The picture in your post is so beautiful and make me interesting..
Thank you a lot for your post @papa-pepper.
I wish you can visit my blog @rijalaronaceh to tech me how can i make post like you..
I will follow you every day..
Bless god to you..
See you again
Even vampires do not possess the kind of fangs the opposum carry. Strange creatures! @papa-pepper, I've been following you for sometime now, you are just weird in an amazing way. I like your works, you doing a great job, you doing fantastic well. I believe we should appreciate one another if deserving. Keep the good work. Well done!
This guy really does look vicious! Teeth look pretty white though. Must have seen a dentist recently. Needs a manicure though. Soon we need to call you the Sir David Attenborough of Steemit! (It's a compliment by the way)
That is possibly the biggest possum I've ever seen, though one I saw crossing the street in my neighborhood (with a big abcess-looking growth on its jaw, unfortunately) would have been a contender.
Those things are uuuuugly =P. Mostly just raccoons here in MA...raccoons are only slightly more charming.
Pretty big teeth they have!
That they do, really happy smiling critters, aren't they?
Damn Papa,
You have some big ones lol. I thought you had hunted and killed that creature. And I started thinking " holy sh@t , what a second is it playing dead". And sure enough it was. That takes nerves of steel to do that .They are just soo intimidating looking. I grew up in Tennessee and had them in our backyard for many years. I remember a guy in my HS named Ross Hannah ( his uncle was Jack Hannah) caught one on the side of the road. Tied it to the back of his bumper in school parking lot for everyone to see. It was hissing big time. Scary stuff lol
Well I think they look cute enough untill they show teeth :)
Thanks for the up close intro to Mr Opossum. They are scary looking. Be safe.
