Original Content Biting off more than he can chew
We put this T-Bone out thinking this guy would eat it in front of the camera. I had no idea he'd be able to drag it off. It seems JUST light enough for him to hobble off with it.

Are they playing or fighting ?
I have been feeding a family of absolutely beautiful opossums recently. Last night I heard some noise and went to investigate. I found two little monsters playing or fighting. Being on the side of caution i broke it up. What is the consensus?

I have opossums in my yard every night since the beginning of September. I think it’s just one that sticks around, but have seen two passing by each other on my Ring camera, as well.
I also have two small dogs around 10 lbs each. What can I do to make sure all animals remain safe?? I put out some water, apple, grapes, and sweet potato tonight.
The opossum is going to be a chunk by morning 😂😂😂

Original Content A baby under my grill
I had the privilege of getting this angel baby safely out from the underside of my (enclosed) gas grill tonight. I was cooking and heard some scratches on the metal. It makes me so sad how defenseless and misunderstood they are ☹️ Long live the Opossums 💗
Edit: For anyone wondering, I checked baby’s body/ fur for any burns or irritation. Luckily there were none. I was extra careful not to pull its tail while maneuvering it around the gas lines. There wasn’t any teeth flashing or hissing, and it just kind of sank into my arms 🥹 I felt like a Disney princess lol. I’ll need to figure out how to “Opossum proof” the lower compartment of the grill now because the grease trays are basically a buffet. I don’t mind feeding the Opossum community as long as it doesn’t put them in any danger

We always talk to them but this one actually has been getting friendly...

Nessy is definitely a mother now
That pouch has gotten huge! That must be why she was so feisty and attacking the other possums.

Different Colors
I think it's neat to see the color variations. The one in the middle has the biggest non-round bat ears!

We lost track of Lilac and found her next door trying to be a wild thang! (The snake wasn’t harmed, just a little rattled)

Opossum courtship and mating/Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge
An interesting video, 6 minutes long. The first 5 minutes are the "courtship", the last minute shows the mating. The video ends before the two of them sit back and light up a cigarette. Not my video.
