What Makes Opossums SO Unique?

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Absolutely one of my favorite animals. I’ve been around them my whole life. Btw they can scream…found out one night many years ago when taking stuff out to my compost heap…we both jumped pretty and she definitely shrieked louder. I have seen them several times with their babies on their backs…it’s adorable. I think they’re beautiful.

I didn't know they could scream, thank you for sharing your stories about them. I think they are beautiful too.

And they DO play possum. In southern Ontario, I was walking my Scottish terrier at night and he stopped to sniff something in the grass and was at it for several seconds. I couldn't see what it was because of the darkness, so I got close and saw it was an Opossum, which was dead. I pushed it over with my foot and Caleb tried to bite it. I pulled his leash back, not wanting him to catch something from this dead animal, when it suddenly jumped up and took off. 👌

Wow, What an incredible Opossum experience. Thank goodness your dog didn't bite it.

How did you leave out playing possum? Great video besides that. Never knew about the venom immunity

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. I didn't add playing possum because i wanted to share the less know facts about them.
