Growly baby opossums
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Baby opossums in the same litter can have very different personalities - some may be calm and curious when handled while others may freeze or play dead. This litter was old enough when they were orphaned that some of them were suspicious of humans - and these two have always been particularly growly and aggressive. Handling is kept to a minimum so they do not become tame and can be successfully released back into the wild - in this case I was transferring them to another container so I could clean their larger cage. Fast movements would probably have resulted in a bite - painful even at this age - but by going very slowly and approaching from behind/above they reverted to freezing rather than attacking.
opossum: "DO NOT TOUCH"
human: *touch*
opossum: "okay."

Hold gently like hotdog
*Firmly* grasp it.
they are hotdog
Then take a big bite
Lime Flavored Potato chips no!!!
Your username and the way you said that,
I read it in Ed's voice from Ed, Edd n Eddy.
I love how they just sorta have to accept that they're gonna get picked up by the hand despite the growling
Lol!!!
The hand ALWAYS moves slightly faster than you
@@Torantes I just run next to someone and the hand touches them instead, easy!
@@Killbayne hehe
On a more serious note, it helped that the human was slow so as to pose an insubstantial threat to them both.

I like how they realized you weren’t going to hurt them, after you put them with their siblings. Very cute.
whats the point of being angry and aggressive when the man is 500 times your mass xD
@@ozensensei6133 size difference don't stop small humans from being angry either XD
@@cooperofchaos9225 If a person the size of a 20 floor building tried to pick you up, im sure you might be angry and scared, but the moment theyre going to pick you up, you would just freeze up and think "Fuck this is it! AAAAHHHH" and wouldnt use much resistance cause what the heck can you even do.
@@FrostbitexP bite their giant fingers as a last show of spite
@@FrostbitexPOnly to then put you in a building with cake and ice cream with your friends inside.
I'd still be confused about what to do either way.

I love your profile picture ❤️
They're so mad at first but when they're together they're like, "FRENS."
Yes they are cute
I love how after being handled theyre just walking around like they were never afraid.
Swag
One was playing dead after being picked up.
They probably thought you were eating their siblings one by one. It’s probably why they calmed down at the end when they were reunited.
hahahahah
he thinks he's vicious
Ma Martin *Ferocious!*
Ma Martin he am vishus 😡
I like this words
I like how they still growl when you've already picked them up, like "I'm serious! You don't know what I'm capable of!"
*picks up with one hand*
"don't make me hurt you! I'm a powerful opossum!"
Everyone's talking about the second possum, but the first one screaming as he's carried away was so funny to me.
confirmed: Virginia Opossums are the most adorable rage babies ever.
they bluff, but they not tuff.
more than cute enuff!
And they love biscotti smeared with peanut butter!
yeah thats pretty much the opposite with their aussie counterparts
@@Lowcast94 yeah well not everyone feels the same about the American version as these people..
They are pretty nasty creatures....wait til you see the noxious, horrific, smells like death green slime ooze out of their asses! That is when they are particularly lovable.

"I AM DEATH INCARNATE! I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL! ANY SECOND NOW!

Do you slowly approach hot dogs and lift them from the top with a firm grasp like that?

For a long second I thought it's a two-headed-opossum
I call this one “Bitey”. And that one “Bitey II”, and there’s “Biteys III, IV and V”... etc.
More like Not-Bitey. It's 99 and 44/100% pure bluff, y'know! 100% adorable, too!
@@HayTatsuko plus they don't carry rabies so even if they do bite you won't have to worry about that. I'd love one as a pet. They are really very cool and underappreciated.
And that one's Vageta Jr
@@xandan1668*explodes* VEGETA JUNIOR! NOOOOOOOO!!!
"I hate you, hand, I hate you with all my heart.... nah, it's okay, I guess."
I don't like hand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating - and it gets everywhere.
They’re like kittens. Easy to scare, but the second U start petting them, they love you 😽
They make a nice quiet pet when you raise them. Even wild ones are easily tamed with just getting used to you. They're a little weird, as pets super sedate and nice. Clean and like to cuddle and be petted.
they also will walk down the street with you if they really like you. Mine before old age kicked in used to walk up and down the street with me. Chased me at full speed running every now and then. Kitty litter trained. Lots of work and attention, so I wouldnt recommend for most... lots of work if you want to give them a good life. Oh and park trips to run in field LOL
I have one i pulled off the teat of her dead mother...she is the lover of the group...the other two girls are nearly as sweet but were found in dangerous conditions and have adapted to my constant cuddling and petting and hugging on them...i love them all...also acquired a blind male adult who is rapidly becoming quite the sweetheart...i wouldnt trade any of them for the world...amazing creatures and great additions to the family...however, dietary needs are very important and if not considered they will get sick and die...also they need attention and to run the house each day or they will die as well...since they are latrine animals, litter box training is a breeze...they like to pee and poop in the same spot...
randy s no they weren't they were never even brought in large amounts to europe.
This is nice and all but wild animals really shouldn't be kept as pets just because we think they look nice/make nice pets. It's one thing if they're rescued and unable to be released into the wild etc, but realistically most should be released into the wild. They aren't pets.
Did..... did you catch an opossum and tame it????
This clip SLAYS me. Thank you for being so kind to animals.
If I ever had a baby possum, I'd name him Gumbo.
Judging by this sound I would name mine Schmiegel.
Mine would be War Bird
Mine would be Larry
Mine would be George
GUMBO!!!!!!
My first thought: Don’t ignore the signs,. You are gong to get bitten.
Then: No one bites.
Second thought: Obviously this is not their first Possum rodeo.
Havin' Fun they don’t bite! Like even if their little lives depended on it
Good info! I am surprised. Even the adults?
@@havinfun7246 from what i know adults tend to prefer on playing dead when threatened over attacking
@@havinfun7246 yeah, I never heard of a possum biting someone, they aren't fighters and prefer to run away when their able, and play dead when they can't, they're really quite sweet lol
They just >:v to warn you, but even then, possums rarely ever bite. They also rarely ever get rabies bc of their body temps, and eat ticks!! They're really good to have around.

"heck...."
It's amazing how a creature that doesn't attack you as a mechanism of defense made this far in the evolutionary tree. Plus is the only marsupial in North America, simply astonishing
"I'll bite ya! I swear it! Look I'm gonna bite you riiiiight now! I'm serious!"

My exact thought too.
"I summon Twin-Headed Fire Dragon in defense position."
Lol
Thank you I am stealing the idea of tiny two-head 'possum dragon
Lay off the dmt boys
Ah yes. The perfect combination of All Bark and No Bite.
says in the description they do bite

@@MoonyVoid they screm

me: OMG SO CUTE
Love how they look like one possum with two heads
They are so freaking cool and adorable i swear. I go out of my way to defend these harmless animals. No they dont carry rabies, they dont attack pets or humans, and they dont carry lyme disease. Please pray for these friends of ours, and please d
ont harm them either..
They CAN carry rabies, but every mammal can carry rabies.
However, if it's a baby mammal, it is unlikely it has rabies.
Just be careful and see a doctor if any animal bites you.
I want a baby opossum so bad. I always have.
AGREED....👍👏👵👴🙏🕊🦅...FROM PA...YUP.
@@Nparalelo ...good advice....truly.👵👴🕊🦅🤔🤨🤗
Did you just say they don't attack pets? REALLLY? THEY COME TO MY HOUSE ALL THE TIME AND ATTACK MY DOGS!
They sound like mean little buggers, but then you pick them up ... “This is fine!” 😂😂😂
like lil tiny sassy dogs omg.....
Possum Babies: "What is this? Affection? Disgusting...
Do it again!"
"If I open my mouth, I'm scary."
Opossum: i will bite!
Pick one up: i have been chosen to enter the afterlife. Make it quick!
The sound so angry, yet so tired.
Its like “You better not come near me, or I will WHACK YA.”
But then they do and they are like “Guess i’ll die.”
So cute. They act like they protect but they don't bite
I love how they all calm down at the end of the video. Just, "Oh, wait. These are my friends. =o Ok, I guess this is fine."
Newspapers make opossums angry, being together makes opossums happy.
If only people learn this lifestyle.
We had one get caught in our grapevines out back - fell off its mom's back.
It called for her - so sad. I put up a 2x4 on a slant so mom and baby could reunite.
Than I gave them a snack biscuit smeared with peanut butter 💕
@Jodie Johnson - thank you! 💐
@@DarthHater100 - you need therapy.
@@pawwalker3492 What'd I miss?
@Your Favorite Bucket - sorry for the delay - just saw this now :)
Mom was at the bottom of the vines trying to get her baby. She never left.
The 2 x 4 I slanted up against the vines gave the baby a same way down.
They had biscuits and peanut butter. And then they went off to join the others.
We in this neighborhood have a network of rehabbers.
So in case it ever happens again we're covered - if mom leaves her babies.
This mom was not about to abandon her little one without trying to rescue it.
Good human!

they're so cute omg
They are not cute thier ugly
@@lisalong8816 your attitude is what's ugly. Just because certain animals might not be "cute" doesn't mean they don't deserve respect.
Lisa Long shut up ling long
I know this was 4 years ago...but they are still cuties 💖💖💖
They are cute babies ^.^
They sound like my grandpa when he's asleep.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
they look like theyre ready to attack but thats just how they communicate, although the teeth are rather intimidating lol
They said “no talk me I’m angy” >:(
Anger boys
They're so adorable! 😊💖
"No! I am Fire, I am Death! No Touchy!" So fierce.
Opossums are the epitome of “All bark and no bite.”
They actually do sometimes bite
Once they saw that all their siblings were actually okay in another box they chilled right out.
I love your gentle touch -- how kind you must be! - T
they respond to touch and soft voices positively...i tell mine i love them and they just turn all cute and start licking my hand,,,its really quite touching...amazing creatures...i love them all...
I have fostered many baby kittens, and it has been my experience that the hissiest ones end up being the nicest cats. :) - T
As a Petco volunteer who helps out with the cats and kittens, I wholeheartedly agree. All you need is kindness, and they will be tamed with time.

Possums are the definition of pushovers. Unless one is foaming or snapping you really have ZERO to fucking fear.
When they calmed- I oddly calmed. Thanks a lot.
Same thing happened to me. I once found a large adult possum that mysteriously died on my porch. But when i got closer to the body I saw that she had 7 babies still clinging to her. And the babies pretty much behaved just like the ones in this video. Well, I put on some work gloves and plucked them one-by-one and put them in a large pail. I took them to a wildlife shelter and they were rehabilitated.
That is very kind of you! unfortunately, apparently its pretty common for people to mistake possums for dead and throw them away after awhile when they are convinced the animal is deceased. not saying this is what happened, but just some info you may want to review before your good intentions become unfortunate accidents. BTW, a search shows me that possums can play dead for 40 minutes to 4 hours. Im glad to hear you took them to get rehabilitated as well
@@aaronbarthel6509 Thank you for the compliment. But yes, she WAS dead. Rigor mortis had just started to set in and she started to smell of decomposition. Plus, I don't think she'd play dead with her babies in tow. A mother 's first instinct would be to protect her babies by getting them away from the threat.
The fact they're on the obits is a nice touch
They’re the sweetest little things I just adore them
Cute animals aside. You unknowingly preserved those people's newspaper obituaries for all time on the internet. Well done.
I love how you can hear the first one still as he is being carried away. They are so adorable!
I'm assuming sudden movements scare them so being as slow and gentle as possible is to gain the trust of the babies?
Yah man, sudden movements in general are a bad idea around any wild animal. They're terrified of you, regardless of what kind of animal they are.
Possums are evolutive proof that:
To survive for so long by way of being the most scary thing, you must be the most harmless thing as well.
Awww
>*Growls*
You're so cute *Growls more*
*Picks up*
>Stop it! I'm scary. : (
This is how most fights with my significant other work lol
That guy was like, "Awww they sound like little dragons, Imma pick them up! Lol"
i have never wanted to cuddle a baby growly biscuit so much in my entire life ,..SOOOO CUTTTTE
I thought it was two headed at first, like some kind of baby Cerberus.
Same!
One of the two I'm raising just sees me as a thing to be climbed on that gives food, but his little brother sees me as mama and squeaks indignantly unless I hold him 24/7. He climbs in the top of my bra and falls asleep while I read. Gah its going to be so hard to release them in a couple months.
I like the reaction of " i don't like this but will do absolutely nothing to prevent it"
Noone in the entire universe:
The lady trying to pick up the ferrets at Petco:
They look so adorable!
Aw so cute! I've handled opossums without any bites or problems at all. They are wonderful docile animals. People need to realize what basically sweet harmless little animals they are.
So that's what a baby possum temper tantrum looks like.
Possums: the scariest looking and yet somehow cutest looking animal in the world.
They look like little bandits. I haven't seen them angry before. It's a little scary and adorable at the same time!
They're like really pissed off mice
I feel like they're becoming the next craze to adopt and domesticate.
I hope not. As far as I know, it's illegal to have them without a permit since they're difficult to care for and their lifespans are so short (3 yrs I think) :(
Due to the high risk of leptospirosis and buruli, I TRULY hope not.
They don't even bite when he starts picking them up. Literal definition of "All bark no bite".
The fact that this was filmed with Opossums on *OBITUARIES* has me *d e a d* . lmfaoooo
What a pair of growly little cuddle-pies.
Aww sweet babies!
Butters The Bean hi
Before the hand: "NO."
After the hand: "alright, acceptable. "
Like most cute little things, they angrily accept affection.
Awwww... cute little things!!!! ❤❤
I never thought of possums as cute... until now.
Me: Oh god, two of those lil guys are probably HELL, I'm surprised he has more than one
*Sees the box full of them*
Me: o h .
I fucking love these growlers. Utterly adorable
They're so cute when they're mad. ❤
I carry a few of these in my pocket for self defense. If someone tries to mug me, I pull out one or two and throw em into the mugger's face.
opossums are such good people when you get to know them
I was just waiting for one of them to take a snap at that hand. Talk about all bark and no bite.
They are beauties
They're all gansta until the hand of the man goes above and lifts them up.
Heck start feeding them and they’ll be you’re NEW Best Friends.
I would be mad too if all I had to read was USA Today.
How can something be so ugly and yet so cute at the same time.
