Very rare to see an opossum behave like this but I've witnessed something like it in the country. I heard one chasing another, growling with every trot through the woods, probably only about 40' distant. I also witnessed a large male attack and kill a young male that was in a dog house near my porch, might have been a male-to-male thing but so upsetting to see. They get along well with cats, have had ones as guests who eat side-by-side with the cats. I've been watching them since about 1988 and have raised a few batches of orphaned ones. They are not fighters and will lose to the quicker dog every time. Fella in the video would have done better to pick up the dog.

@@galacticcactus5530 Yep! Used to have 2 outdoor cats I'd feed on the front porch. one night caught a possum chowing on their food-also explained what was happening to the dead mouse heads my cats would leave me there. Few nights later, I watched through the window, the possum walked up right between the two cats to eat. he didn't care, just strutted up like he owned the place :) One cat just looked at him like what the heck are you, and swatted at him. Possum ignored him and went to eating. Cat just figured whatever and started eating too. Cats are now inside cats, but still put food out for possum-not sure if same one, or how long they live, think it is same one though. So other night, noticed a raccoon eating out there. So put extra bowl out, and was thinking wonder what would happen if raccoon comes up when possums eating. Literally few mins later, it happened. Raccoon is rather skittish, he slowly sauntered up, looking around. Possum looked at him, shoved his bowl away from it, kept eating. Raccoon finally got the nerve and started in on his bowl. Funny too, they don't chow down every bit of food, it's like they leave a bit for the other one. And, they don't care for tomatoes or green peppers-those got tossed out of the bowl lol.

[@b.o7815]

My tabby cat who chases dogs was chased by a possum in his own yard one night, and i was so pissed that i lost all interest in liking or caring for possums. I chased it away and pushed it off my fence. Later a baby possum became their friend. So confusing. I have a dog now. No more possums.

Opossums are not normally that aggressive (except with other possums). I think that the similarity in size between the dog and opossum, as well as the dog's inquisitive behavior triggered the possum's territorial instincts. The opossum is a solitary animal. I have seen similar behavior in encounters between female opossums.

[@eligebrown8998]

[@audreymai2773]

Opossums are amazing animals. I had the pleasure of rescuing a very small infant Opossum. It was the sweetest creature I have ever known. When I found her she was covered in fleas (which can kill a infant opposum) and very dehydrated. Once she was recovered and feeling better, we really bonded. She would slobber my arm or my neck and then rub her face on wherever she had slobbered. Marking me with her scent. It is called "slubbing" slobbering/rubbing. She smelled like fritos. She had a tiny lil pouch. She would sleep with me. I would put a hoodie on backwards and she would sleep in the hood on my chest. My Pomeranian loved her too. They would lay together and wrestle a bit and my pup would even lick her. I had named her Ellie. I didn't know that it was illegal to have them as pets (in my state), so when someone finally told me I was already so attached to her, but turned her over to a man that is liscensed. It was so difficult.. I cried for probably a good month. She was too tame to ever be in the wild, so they use her as a mascot for their rescue foundation. They will take her to the park on certain dates so that people can pet her and so they can be told how valuable and amazing these creatures are. She really touched my heart. I did end up rescuing another baby, a male about the same age, but turned him over about a week after finding him and getting him back on his lil paws with the special diet. You have to do a lot of research before trying to care for one because their diet is VERY important to follow or they can develop MBD (metabolic bone disorder) same disease bearded dragons can get, where their bones get soft and will deform their arms legs and face. So please if you find one, do not try to feed them catfood or hotdogs and think they will be fine. They need someone educated in caring for Opossums to feed them the correct diet. They have very short life spans. On average 6 months to a year in the wild. And up to about 3 maybe 4 if lucky in captivity. So please let them be. They don't dig holes, ⛔THEY DO NOT CARRY RABIES⛔ (their blood runs too cool) and they eat so many bugs and ticks. They are more afraid of you than you are of them. Miss you Ellie ❤❤❤

Why on earth would you think opossum cannot get rabies?!? Please use caution when making public claims, because when they are incorrect, as yours was....that spreads ignorance and might end up getting a child or novice to wild animals seriously hurt or killed if they believe what you post as fact. I love opossum and think they are marvelous animals that get a plagued reputation from most people just because they commonly don't know very much about them....like the fact their version of chocolate is slugs...so if we didn't have these lil nocturnal helpers....people would likely be complaining over the tons of slugs on their property, gardens, et al. Plus, if you've ever done a necropsy on them, then you'd see how very polluted they tend to be from an array of parasites...because of cleaning up carrion. The bacteria levels in the mouth alone are outstanding....so if you do get bitten, you have other worries added onto possible rabies. I don't mention these facts to make anyone fear them in the sense to eradicate them...i say it in the sense of caution...they are wild animals and have their place next to ours....just give them space. While this video may seem cute, what happens if that opossum takes this behavior into practice while some child or elderly person is walking their dog who may not be as fast or ready to deal with a chasing opossum?---not real considerate to others, opossum included.

[@meganmena377]

+Heather Lockard they very rarely get it it's a very large misconception

[@heatherlockard9049]

+megan Mena ,my point wasn't how often it occurs, but the fact that it can and sometimes does....opossum are not immune to rabies...so somebody stating that they cannot get rabies is incorrect and since this is public and read by all age groups...didn't think it was right having incorrect information out there. So, the only misconception really was the fact the person i replied to said opossum cannot get rabies...which, is an absolutely false statement. They have an incredible immune system, also why they can withstand so much exposure (like parasites galore and various bacterial strains) which would otherwise very much shorten or kill most other mammals speedily....much like some of the bacteria found amongst the teeth/gum area of snakes and the komodo dragon...it is more dangerous than the physical bite....but, they get along fine with it...it aids them. I think you misunderstood me though....i'm not saying it is rampant....just stating that they can get rabies....i'd hate for a little kid to have read what that other person said and took it for truth, that they cannot get rabies...because we dont have radar for it in living animals besides some onset behaviors....so what if some kid got bit by one who was rabid and therefore did not get medical attention right away...thinking, cant get rabies...its a opossum!----then that's somebody's life is very tragically and painfully gone. People getting rabies and not being aware enough to get treatment is not unheard of these days and its an awful way to go..it is more controlled now, but still present. Same as bubonic plague....there are lots of people who think that's been gone AGES ago....it isn't...there are population outbreaks throughout the world....here in the U.S, it is prevalent in pockets of the south western part of the country....some parks having to shut down to control outbreaks. I just dislike incorrect information being advertised in sorts...it would be relatable to me stating here for all to read and maybe believe, that humans can live off ANY water source....then somebody would go chugging some good ole amoeba infested water, get some in their lungs and clickity clack they got some new neighbors renovating their brain....misinformation sucks. ;)

d y that is an old wives tail....it is very common for a mother possum to come out during the day to find food for her babies

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Saw one carrying its babies today while fishing, it’s on r/fishing, posted today if you want proof, but it wasn’t aggressive at all, and I don’t think it had rabies, just searching for food

[@sherriviz1055]

It’s not impossible for them to have rabies. It its. Rey rare. They can carry rabies. Bieber I too have heard it’s unusual for them to be out during the day also and I have never seen one tbis aggressive Just shows you each one can be very different

[@kimmyfreak200]

whats odd is this possum didn't give the teeth warning, when they open their mouth and hiss showing their teeth...no playing dead... he looks super healthy and very clean it may be someones pet that got out...she seemed out of place too like when she sniffs the area where there was trees and twigs...bet u anything this is someones domesticated pet which explains why she was so brazen

Possum's move incredibly fast when they're chasing bugs I saw one eating Roaches on my front porch at night

[@kimmyfreak200]

i use to feed them at my old house i was a really curious kid one night i over stepped by bounds and i slowly opened the back door, possum eating on our picnic table, and he didn't see me i was gonna stay there but i tripped and holy hell it was LOUD and the poor possum nearly had a heart attack it jumped off the table and ran across our massive backyard lawn in like 5 mili seconds...holy cow can they move! i felt bad i probably scared a year off its little life :(

[@TrollHiddenCave]

@@kimmyfreak200 I don't think that's how it works they also have very poor eyesight they will literally just accidentally walk up on you and then freak out because they didn't see you

Why are you paranoid people in every single comment section of pet videos? You realize an unhealthy wild possum wouldn't be playing around like this right?

[@BlameJason]

I’ve never ever seen a possum behave like this! This is an incredible video! I think the possum was playing but I can’t believe it actually started chasing the dog. And you saw that the possum didn’t necessarily try to bite the dog towards the beginning of the video when the dog was within striking distance so I really think the possum may have been playing with this dog. Incredible. I have a possum and I love them. They are special, amazing little animals.

[@JD-re3cj]

The opossum sensed fear in the dog so decided to assert its dominance

[@joannebutzerin6448]

Letting your dog harass wildlife is a stupid dick move.

[@hamzahx10x]

Very very nice

[@ArthurBrinkman-c5z]

Way too cute, I was walking my little Chihuahua mix about 2:30 this morning he saw something and went after it. He ran under a car and I couldn't see what he was chasing. Very relieved to see a opossum come out the other side and this time not a skunk! The last critter he chased got him a bath at 1:00 in the morning. The opossum didn't seem to concerned and just waddled away. The dog didn't bark or try to attack he was just having some fun with the critter he found. I'd never allow my dog to harm any other animal. He has no interest in chasing cat's for some reason. He never chases them. So far 3 opossums two skunks! The skunks always win!

[@gamerbomb3968]

OMG SOOOOO CUTE BOTH OF THEM!!

[@trevski9265]

you must really care for your dog

[@RoRiodd]

adorable!! i love opossums and doggies

[@TomLeedsTheAtheist]

That is an oddly aggressive opossum, but not overtly so, so it's not like it has rabies, but I've never seen an opossum chase after another animal before, and don't usually see them during the day. Almost seems like it was a pet at some point.

[@janglur]

+Tom Leeds It's not being aggressive at all, as it's not making any of the proper aggressive behaviors. Also pretty sure i've seen this opossum and neighborhood by a local breeder. Lastly, opossums cannot have rabies- their body temperature is too low and they have a specific antibody against it. There has not been a single verifiable case confirming rabies in an opossum in world history.

[@TomLeedsTheAtheist]

Sin Vraal Well, since you focused on it, I did not say it had rabies, in fact I was pretty clear that was unlikely. I have seen a lot of opossum and the only ones I have seen in daylight have been woken up or domesticated since they are pretty much strictly nocturnal. But even the domesticated ones were far more likely to run away rather than take chase. AND YES, taking chase is being aggressive, unless it is intended as play and that animal did not look like it was looking to play.

[@janglur]

Chasing is not aggressive behavior for opossums because they do not do that when being aggressive. They sidle and sway their heads, open their mouths wide without closing, hiss and growl, and feign lunges. None of this was being done by the above pet opossum, so it is overwhelmingly clear that there was no danger here.

[@TomLeedsTheAtheist]

+Sin Vraal OK, you clearly consider yourself an opossums expert & I am not hear to argue about it.

[@waynejohnson1304]

The Opossum just wanted to be left alone. If it had gotten ahold of the dog, it probably wouldn't have known what to do next. LOL

[@shanewickham8667]

It didn't play dead? that Opossum was fearless.

[@kimmyfreak200]

may be someones pet... seemed domesticated

Any mammal can get rabies....

[@MN_Minnow]

travis11 not true.

[@audreytx]

travis11 And anyone can die in a plane crash. Doesn't make it likely. Opossums get a bad rap because their defense mechanism is drooling and swaying which looks like rabies but it's not.

[@creativezay-tv9ys]

That owner should have picked him up but he is just watching him wow 🥺🥺

Yeah, I can laugh now, but I truly thought the owner was a jerk for not picking his dog up.

[@markmark1078]

Calm down people-oppossum is playing because he sensed no threat from little dog-twice last year two different oppossums flopped over and played dead as my pitbull chased them-it was hilarious and he didn't hurt them so after putting him in house, i got a further laugh watching them get up and scurry away-they are an amazing creature!!! Also people may be feeding around neighborhood which happens more and more as kind, intelligent people move into suburbs without the moronic ,backwoods dumbass need to kill everything
