It’s a possum. I used to see a few of them at my house in northern California (in the middle of a city). They will live in sewers, storm drains etc. One evening I left my garage door open and the next day found a mother possum and babies hiding in one of the storage cabinets. I think she was trying to do this same thing. I didn’t want to chase her away, so I put some food and water next to her and made sure my 3 cats couldn’t get to her or her babies. Then at night, I left the garage door open. She left that night and didn’t come back. She didn’t try to attack me but she was very protective of her babies…

The opossum is a hugely misunderstood animal. They actually make excellent pets but are extremely hard to care for (diet etc.)
They are extremely smart and uncannily quick learners. I have a friend who keeps opossum as pets, they are actually very loving animals. They love to ride on your shoulders. Their natural defense mechanism is their (quite ironically) downfall. Headlights speeding towards them cause them to play dead, and well put 2 and 2 together.

Tastes like pork, but not as greasy as dog, according to my brother’s best friend. (He ate dog in a casserole when he went to the Phillipines to engage his mail order bride)
Our neighbors considered possums a delicacy, when our dogs would tear into one, we would take them to our neighbors and they would cook them and eat them. They’re harmless to a certain point. You can carry them by their tails easily, they act mean, but they mostly just hiss at you and waddle off. (Yeah, they’re supposed to be spelled and pronounced opossum, but only by people that don’t have them in their backyards)
They carry rabies, not leprosy. Armadillos carry leprosy. Possums on the half shell.

Same family basically. They are not mean creatures. For the most part they are basically all show and no bite. they will growl, hiss and put on a show trying to scare you away, and if that doesn’t work they just play deadt
Words by Laitha on July 31, 2009 at 2:35 pm | #
Oh Yeah and Opossums RARELY have rabies due to the low body temp and the virus not being able to survive in low body temps. Which is why one of the newer treatments at hospitals for people who get rabies is to try to lower body temp ASAP as soon as someone gets bit . Any mammal can be infected.

That is an opossum (Didelphys virginiana). North America’s only marsupial. Here in the American south east, they are know colloquially as “possums”. They are fairly common, fairly slow movers, not real bright, and aggressive if cornered. Since they are kinda of slow moving, and kind of slow thinking, they are common road kill.

Yes, it’s an opossum. I had one as a pet and it was cute and fun. If they are scared, they open up their mouths to look scary back, but they seldom bite. Amazingly, they are immune to rabies, so you never have to worry about that. They love to eat mellon, dog food, bugs, and cheese… at least mine did. There is no reason to kill them or hurt them.

Here’s an article that will answer most of your questions about the Virginia opossum, shown above: http://www.welcomewildlife.com/mammals/opossum/default.htm
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary indicates that the preferred pronunciation of their name is uh-POSS-um, but most people just call them ‘possums. The Virginia opossum is native to and the only opossum who inhabits the U.S. A marsupial related to kangaroos and Koala bears, their young develop in the mother’s pouch. Opossums look scary, but in fact are timid and docile, never aggressive. Slow-moving, opossums hiss and snarl (as the one in the photo is surely doing) in an effort to scare humans and predators away, but they only bite if forced to. Sometimes they play “dead” in hopes of fooling predators into leaving them alone. Opossums inhabit most of the southern half of the U.S. They’re not often seen, except as roadkill, because they’re nocturnal. If you encounter one, simply walk away; it won’t chase after you. Opossums don’t get rabies. Various other species of opossums are found around the world except in very cold climates. I won’t comment on killing and cooking these harmless animals.
