Hello Blackbirdofheaven, thanks for stopping by and commenting. If you read through some other similar comment responses, you'll see that the opossum is a welcome and regular visitor to my backyard. It eats some of my compost, and I enjoy its presence. It was in fact eating my compost when I approached to retrieve some of the forklift pallets stacked next to the compost pile. When it saw me, it hid under one of them. It has returned many times since this encounter, and it will always be welcome if it does. Cheers and please come back again. Check out some of the other amazing backyard wildlife I have recorded and posted on my channel.
Aint even worried about the click bait. A video from 2018 and I just saw the OP reply to a comment 46 minutes ago. Dedication. Feel bad for the Opossum though, wish they were here in Australia. Adopt it real quick, they rarely attack and they are good for the yard.
Thanks! I am dedicated for sure. Plus, this is my only popular video so far. I really do value my viewers and commenters as well, so thanks for taking the time. And yes, the possum lives in the backyard. It, in fact, adopted me. I let it eat from my compost heap, and it, in turn helps me control pests around the yard, like ticks and mice and voles.

@@E.lectricityNorth you realise that *you're* only salty because you know that me and everyone else are right, yeah? Don't mess with wildlife and it won't mess with you, common principle. It wasn't "vicious", it was terrified because some ugly-ass hillbilly was prodding into its home
@@E.lectricityNorth *you're* insane, absolutely insane and salty, please do not touch wildlife or mess with it, and it won't be "vicious" towards you, opossums are not vicious, so your video is incredibly misleading and uninformative.

I live in TN. We have many opossum. They are sweet animals. They have no natural enemies. None. Except the humans that do this kind of crap. They're also good to have around because they eat bugs, snakes and spiders. Things you don't want around. You provoked this opossum.
Hi Laurie Hardin, thanks for the valuable info, and for stopping by and commenting. Humans also have no natural enemies. Except other humans. I hope we are not enemies. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
In actual fact, it did not attack. The title is what is commonly referred to as "clickbait". And I followed it in order to film it as it retreated to where it was living at the time--in another wood pile (the one in the distance, covered by the blue tarp). And I thought it was cute as it waddled quickly away to its shelter. Oppossum are very cute and helpful creatures, which is why I always welcome them in my back yard. Thank you for the questions, and may many oppossum enrich your life!
Just some old forklift pallets next to my compost heap. The oppossum gets to eat scraps from there as a reward for eating other pests I have around here. That one in the video is probably a great grandma by now. The oppossum family is always welcome in my backyard. Thanks for stopping by.
As bad as I felt for the opossum being disturbed while it just wanted to chill, I have to commend you on your effort to dispell the idea that they are aggressive. And by your other comments/replies on the video, you seem like a great person to get a good compost meal from. :V
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. To answer your question, the possum was eating some compost and hid in the pallets when it saw me coming.

Good video. Might actually show some opossum haters (which never encountered one i their life), that those creatures are absolutely no threat to humans at all.
It's meant to draw in viewers who are expecting a vicious attack, only to show them that there is actually little chance of attack by this particular creature. It is in fact docile and a welcome addition to our array of forest pets. Thanks for your question and for visiting the channel.
I knew this was gonna be a Click bait but I had to see it anyway. Possums are not usually vicious unless you corner them and even then all they do is hiss. Lol
Hi Deb, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I needed the pallets that the Opossum was hiding in. It ran under them to hide when it heard me approaching the compost heap, where it was having a snack. It has been back many times since then...and so have its children and likely its grandchildren as well. They will always be welcome at my compost heap.
@@E.lectricityNorth Thank you for letting me know that. I have possums in my back yard and I’m grateful for them since they eat ticks and other insects. Of course, my dogs have to run out and bark at them for a few minutes every night!🙄

OMG. 👀 How many stitches did that require? 🙃 I have opossum in my yard that like to come around at night looking for food so I don't leave garbage out. They like mice so they are welcome.
Sorry about that. This video aims to cast a positive light on the gentle oppossum, which gets enough negative attention already. I enjoy watching the possum family visits that happen regularly behind the house. Thanks for commenting and watching.
@@gabethemonster I have considered it. I may do so in the future. In the meantime, however, I think it may also be working to bring people here who are looking for vile creatures being scary and unpredictable. When they get here, and see the cute little timid oppossum with its little hand-like paws, and then see it shuffling away so awkwardly, some of those people may have their minds changed. These little critters are just trying to make a living in this world, like the rest of us. And those who are disappointed sometimes make their voices heard. I enjoy hearing their thoughts, as it often says more about them than about me or the subject of the video. Thanks again.
Hello FO5yr, I put food out also. This one was in my compost pile having a feast when it ran under the skid pile. I needed a skid, so I gently helped it on its way. It's always welcome in my backyard. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
@@E.lectricityNorth I'm.glad you didn't harm him. Kudos to you!!! It's nothing to go out and find a skunk. A possum. Or,a raccoon eating cat food. So,I make sure they get food too and fresh water. That possum I swear it's beautiful that comes here. Big ole white fluffy face.
Nope. This little fella was just having a snack in my compost heap. He ran under the skid when I came over to say hello. Then he went back to the wood pile, where he lives. What is funny though, is that you're right--I am a monster. Not with cute little defenceless critters like this though, especially when they are so helpful to me.
Opossums are not vicious it's the scared of you why don't you leave it to hell alone unless you're going to make a pet out of it and you shouldn't do that either but I do like to see them when people make pets out of them it's not like a wild coyote so it's not vicious and they're very very rarely get rabies
Hi and thank you Barney Porter. The vicious attacks refer to those originating from this video's commenters. It's a study on online anonymous human interactions, per se. I enjoy all the wildlife in the woods and in the backyard, and often feel a symbiosis with the local critters more than with other people. This opossum was not harmed, but I haven't seen it for a while. It was hanging out in my compost area when I approached to get a pallet. When it hid in the pallet at my approach, I gently got it out of there without touching it. I filmed it because it was kind of cute and I thought it might make a good video. Turns out I was correct! Thanks again for stopping by and commenting. Please watch my other critter videos...they are even better than this video, in some cases.
@@E.lectricityNorth thank you so much for your nice reply and I'm like you I enjoy wildlife and I also enjoy my dogs I have five dogs that I rescued I also have a neighbor's dog that I might as well call mine because I've been feeding him even had him vaccinated and got him his shots and made sure he didn't freeze at night these people shouldn't have a dog and I did call that dog warden on them but the bad thing about that the county I live in in Virginia they don't have a regular SPCA and if they take the dog and nobody adopts it they just put it to sleep and I can't have that on my conscience so I told them black lady that I would just feed him myself she's offered to pay me but she never has paid me anything she's just lying but I don't care I don't give a damn about that woman I just care about the dog I've had dogs all my life and there's so much better than people they don't give opinions but I've always loved animals I've never been a hunter and I enjoy being around them animals God's natures animals I love all kind of critters anyhow thank you for your nice reply yes opossums are cute animals 3 years ago I thought they was just like a rat I had no idea that they are marsupials just like the kangaroo and now I just love them I enjoy seeing them eating they're so funny and cute I love to hear them smacking and using their little hands I'm so glad they learned I do get upset when my dogs kill one we live in the country and us in a semi suburb but it's still in the country in prospect Virginia we have plenty of country roads for me to walk around in but thank you for your reply

Thanks Al. Caught red-handed (sigh). I baited, you clicked. Thank you for your patronage.
He Attacked The Opposum
Negative. Had I Attacked It, And Made A Video About It, Then YT Would Not Have Allowed Me To Upload It. Thanks farhan naqvi For The Very Capital-Intensive Comment. #baddadjoke
What was the point of that?😢
Hello Captain, thanks for the comment. YOU were the point. Please check out my other videos too, and thanks again.
Some of you people in the comments have also lost your minds because this thing must have rabies.
OMG. 👀
How many stitches did that require? 🙃
I have opossum in my yard that like to come around at night looking for food so I don't leave garbage out.
They like mice so they are welcome.
Haha no stitches. Yes they are cute, and especially the babies. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Click bait not vicious.
Indeed.
They’re not vicious
Correct.
*Trump Voice* This is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever.
Sorry
You sound Canadian! Welcome to the channel.
False advertising.
Terrible person, please leave the animals alone, they are adorable animals
You have NO idea...I'm even more terrible than you could possibly imagine. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
that was super crappy of you.
Hello again CrakenFlux! Which part? Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.
🧐I didn't see any attacking here.
Sorry about that. This video aims to cast a positive light on the gentle oppossum, which gets enough negative attention already. I enjoy watching the possum family visits that happen regularly behind the house. Thanks for commenting and watching.
@@E.lectricityNorth Yeah np. Sorry it's getting so much hate. I think if you changed the vid name, you'd get less disliked.
@@gabethemonster I have considered it. I may do so in the future. In the meantime, however, I think it may also be working to bring people here who are looking for vile creatures being scary and unpredictable. When they get here, and see the cute little timid oppossum with its little hand-like paws, and then see it shuffling away so awkwardly, some of those people may have their minds changed. These little critters are just trying to make a living in this world, like the rest of us. And those who are disappointed sometimes make their voices heard. I enjoy hearing their thoughts, as it often says more about them than about me or the subject of the video. Thanks again.
Why hurt an innocent animal. Who is just trying.yo survive. I put food out for them!!!
Hello FO5yr, I put food out also. This one was in my compost pile having a feast when it ran under the skid pile. I needed a skid, so I gently helped it on its way. It's always welcome in my backyard. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
@@E.lectricityNorth I'm.glad you didn't harm him. Kudos to you!!! It's nothing to go out and find a skunk. A possum. Or,a raccoon eating cat food. So,I make sure they get food too and fresh water. That possum I swear it's beautiful that comes here. Big ole white fluffy face.
long time youtube user, first comment, this is bullshit
Wow. Just leave wildlife alone. He wasn’t disturbing you.
(She)
Click bait
Indeed.
I definitely needed the reassurance on their behavior. They can wreck your shit!
Good person for killing her hurting the possom but stop with the clickbait
Clickbait!
Indeed. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
It's amazing to me how many people missed the point of this video.
I know, weird eh? Thanks for your comment.
This is why the dislike button should show the tremendous amount of dislikes this person got
I acknowledge you, Blu2. Here's a like and a heart, for you.
Clickbait
Yup
Now you steel his little home & he is without a warm nest in so bad wintertime.😡
You are a Monster😠
Nope. This little fella was just having a snack in my compost heap. He ran under the skid when I came over to say hello. Then he went back to the wood pile, where he lives. What is funny though, is that you're right--I am a monster. Not with cute little defenceless critters like this though, especially when they are so helpful to me.
Got to say possums are pretty chill animals unlike racoons and stray cats.
Hate those guys
Opossums are not vicious it's the scared of you why don't you leave it to hell alone unless you're going to make a pet out of it and you shouldn't do that either but I do like to see them when people make pets out of them it's not like a wild coyote so it's not vicious and they're very very rarely get rabies
Hi and thank you Barney Porter. The vicious attacks refer to those originating from this video's commenters. It's a study on online anonymous human interactions, per se.
I enjoy all the wildlife in the woods and in the backyard, and often feel a symbiosis with the local critters more than with other people. This opossum was not harmed, but I haven't seen it for a while. It was hanging out in my compost area when I approached to get a pallet. When it hid in the pallet at my approach, I gently got it out of there without touching it. I filmed it because it was kind of cute and I thought it might make a good video. Turns out I was correct!
Thanks again for stopping by and commenting. Please watch my other critter videos...they are even better than this video, in some cases.
@@E.lectricityNorth thank you so much for your nice reply and I'm like you I enjoy wildlife and I also enjoy my dogs I have five dogs that I rescued I also have a neighbor's dog that I might as well call mine because I've been feeding him even had him vaccinated and got him his shots and made sure he didn't freeze at night these people shouldn't have a dog and I did call that dog warden on them but the bad thing about that the county I live in in Virginia they don't have a regular SPCA and if they take the dog and nobody adopts it they just put it to sleep and I can't have that on my conscience so I told them black lady that I would just feed him myself she's offered to pay me but she never has paid me anything she's just lying but I don't care I don't give a damn about that woman I just care about the dog I've had dogs all my life and there's so much better than people they don't give opinions but I've always loved animals I've never been a hunter and I enjoy being around them animals God's natures animals I love all kind of critters anyhow thank you for your nice reply yes opossums are cute animals 3 years ago I thought they was just like a rat I had no idea that they are marsupials just like the kangaroo and now I just love them I enjoy seeing them eating they're so funny and cute I love to hear them smacking and using their little hands I'm so glad they learned I do get upset when my dogs kill one we live in the country and us in a semi suburb but it's still in the country in prospect Virginia we have plenty of country roads for me to walk around in but thank you for your reply
They may be cute and they are nice but what they do to the hay the horses eat they cause epm and mess a lot of horses up for life some actually die from epm
Thanks. Can you please tell me more about EPM?
@@E.lectricityNorth It is horrible especially for race horses it effects their gate and performance but left untreated it could lead to the horse not being able to stand.The best treatment is Marquis (ponazuril) not cheap but it works but there is cheaper treatments. Its hard to avoid every horse comes in contact with the parasite at some time it effects horses differently. Toltrazuril IS CHEAPER AND WORKS BUT ONLY USE ONE OR THE OTHER OT BOTH IF YOU SEE RESULTS WITH ONE USE THAT do a loading dose with a dmso JUG(from your vet)
Clickbait
Indeed.
