    Opossums are beautiful & wonderful animals. We often had them in our yard. When I was young I was afraid of them because I thought they were monsters. My grandmother explained that they eat insects that could cause us problems & they were more afraid of us; then we needed to be of them. She explained the little garden off to the side was planted for them. Now I see them as beautiful; but weirdly designed to look ghastly; but we’re beautiful!! ❤❤❤ I had an awesome grandmother. God rest her soul.

      They are made to look ghastly to ward off predators. That's their primary defense mechanism.

      ⭐️ Sofia⭐️ While some people will say Possums that is actually slang or dialect & if you pay attention searching “possum” will correct to Opossum. Honey dear I’m over 60yo and I don’t need an incorrect correction; bless your heart.

    So adorable! The runt was giving his big sisters practice at being a mum to weaned babies. You could see that their maternal instinct was there by carrying him around without problems. That's such good news for their future. Many rescued female animals in particular, especially if rescued so young, don't get to see how to be a mum. It can lead to them abandoning at least their first babies because they don't even know what they are! Only if they live in a herd and get to see older mums with their own babies will they learn, or hopefully second time around instinct kicks in. These sisters of the little boy stand a good chance of being successful mothers first time around. I hope they have happy, healthy lives and lots of babies!

      Fun fact, the opossum is almost entirely immune from rabies due to their low core body temp, so they are almost entirely incapable of spreading it unless they ate an animal with rabies just before biting another animal, they also dont bite humans on purpose, you are more likely to be bitten by a domesticated opossum than a wild one since the domesticated ones are pretty bad at differentiating fingers from snacks
