  • Poor darling. Certainly not the most beautiful, but still charming.

  • Comment removed

  • Instead of releasing it you could feed it to a snake. I'm sure it would benefit the snake more then nature / society with all the trash cans it tip over or the rabies it will one day carry

  • love love love love love

  • fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

  • Not sure whether the laugh is cute... or diabolical O.o

  • i dont like opossums animore

  • She looks like a shaved rat... cute... oo3

  • aaawwww it reminds me of the baby dinosaur's on that movie jurassic park,i totally mean that in a good way, they were super cute and i always wanted one ;)

    that's sooooo cute!

  • Im glad your helping this animal get back into the wild. Good heart.

  • So ugly... yet so utterly adorable. Are we just programmed to go all gooey at the sight of babies or what?

    I love your videos- please keep doing what you do. :)

  • this is terrifying 

  • bless you,bless you,bless you,bless you,bless you,bless you,bless you,bless you, and bless you a million more times,lol :)

  • That's an odd noise.

  • it reminds me of t.v

  • oooh.....!!!!!esta muy lindo jajajajajaj....!!!!

  • its cute as a baby.....then it turns into a demon

  • @Kittylover499 How so? Adult Opossums eat pests, don't cause much damage (unless you somehow get one in your house), and are a lot cleaner and disease-resistant than most wild animals, including stray dogs. All in all, they're very useful scavangers.

  • @aGasmaskProcession i mean that they LOOK like demons...they are useful....

  • This video is a bit of a bummer because the baby is clueless but thanks for posting it ^_^

  • reminds me of the opssum i had it was the only survivor after mother was hut by a car unfortunalty it could never be returned to the wild but became a great pet

  • so were is the possums mom

  • that's kinda creepy... but i hope the mommy comes for it :)

  • same sound my gliders used to call me lol. sugar gliders are cousins of opossums

  • oooopppsss i typed in the search line " ADULT OPOSSUM " ggggg

    watta giant kochiii little critter !!!!

    I WANT ONE !!!!!

  • KILL IT WITH FIRE

  • incredible animal !!!!!

    do we have such lovelys in germany ?????

    i want one !!!!!

  • @XXplaythegamesXX you would not think the same if you saw one in person, an adult that is. Plus they have like the sharpest teeth ever

  • Mary, does the mommy opossum make any kind of sound or signal in response to the baby? I was wondering if there's a call a person could learn to mimic, or a way of touching it that would comfort the animal? Thanks!

  • @TwiPrime Mom makes a loud click sound, kind of like the sound you make when you put your tongue to the roof of your mouth then snap it away.

  • @MaryCummins Good to know. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. :)

  • Omg people on here are so fucking cruel! It breaks my heart... these are beautiful creatures. Better than fucking raccoons. Raccoons killed my grandmas kittens, opossums play with the kitties. I'd prefer opossums over anything else. You all don't have to be so mean, you're not impressing anyone!

  • damn those are some ugly little bastards

  • I killed a whole litter of those ugly little rodents today. Stupid things left blood stains on my shovel..

  • @flatpicker15 And the award for largest e-penis goes to...

  • OH MY GOD!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!

  • good thing it wasn't in new zealand, or it would have been shot, run over or fed to the pig dogs.

  • shoot the little bastard.

  • STAMP ON IT AAH KILL IT

  • Da fuck is that? Fuck, Possums are cute little Lemur type things with gigantic eyes and fat heads, this is just some hideous white rat!

  • @Hektique Hi Hektique. In case no one has mentioned, this is an opossum, often referred to as a possum, at least in my neck of the woods. I actually think they're pretty cute.

  • Spitting?

  • Ha i love it!

  • Sounds like he's trying to shoot a pistol...

    His OPISTOL!

    Yes, that was cornier than a cornfield.

  • your gonna kill it

  • You're a very kind soul to be doing what you do for animals. Wish there were more of you in the world.

  • What's wrong with you people? She's adorable, way more than a human baby :D

  • get a shotgun noww kill the fuck na jus kiddin but hunting ant trapping ar fun as hell

  • @72awesomeman We should put you in an artificial jungle and hunt you so you can see how fun it really is. Hunting for sport is an example of human corruption and evil. Hunting has always been, and must always be, for the purpose of acquiring meat to eat. To delight in the pain of a living being is to forfeit our right to fair judgement at the face of the heavens.

  • Repulsive little creature. 

  • He looks like a sphinx rat with a big mouth and no teeth. <3 So cute! ^_^

  • A face only a mommy can love. Thank you for doing what you are doing!

  • Oh my god it's so ugly...

  • Bless you,little possum xD

  • She reminds me of Popsie when we found her !

  • Baby possums are hard to keep alive.. If you don't know exactly what you're doing, call somebody that does..

  • Hey i just saw some of your videos and they really helped :)

    We just saved a baby opossum that we found in our garden.... and we're taking care of him. I would like to know something. Here's the thing: the "Mommy" opossum always passes by a window at my house at night around the same hour every time. If we put the opossum in a box next to this place, would the "Mommy opossum" realize the baby is there and would she take him back with her??

  • @Alimac1112 It might not be the mommy opossum. If it isn't, it might kill the baby. Opossums will only take their babies back if baby crawls a few feet away. Most other wild mammals will take their babies back even days later but unfortunately not opossums. Thanks.

  • @MaryCummins oh ok then, thank you. But I am quite sure it's the mother... The problem is , when we saw here we opened the door to try to make her see the baby but she got scared and ran away. We tried to give him some fruit but the only one the baby seemed to like was tangerine! What could we give him to eat?? He peed but hasn't pooped yet because he doesn't seem to want to eat anything....

  • @Alimac1112 - poor fella - maybe he's just got a case of nerves - u know - he cant go to the bathroom with you watching him - xD jkjk -

    i have no idea why or what to do for him - 4sure a question only our mentor here in the video can answer  =)

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my gosh. This video made my dog come running from the other side of the house!

  • fascinating sound - thanx for that info - now i'll know if i do hear it that in the yard that i've probably got a baby in trouble out there - i would have just thought it was some sort of cicada sound -

  • thaat posem will kill you watch... you watch

  • possums are cool but they can be mean

  • I used to have one. But we gave her to wild life thing.

  • awwww look how ugly it is ^_^ <3

  • At first I was like NO WAY THATS JUST A BABY SUGAR GLIDER hahaha. I love opossums!! I feed the family that lives under our shed babies to adults!! I even name them but I just give them food ( cat food). Oh and just to let you know I save animals on the road as well such as : This morning I was on the way to karate in my uniform and I saw a box turtle in the road, I got out of my car ran back and set him on the other side of the road. In. my.karate.uniform with people going by. XD !!!!

  • @TheAnimalGirl77 - you ROCK -

  • Hey look. Vermin.

    How cute.

  • aww

  • weird

  • nice last name :P

  • fuck possums they killed my bunny drown it and make it suffer

  • Interesting video of an Aerosol Rat. ;)

  • sounds lika a can of bug spray :/

  • Kill it with fire D: (Just kidding, animal abuse flamers.)

  • Uggh that sound lolz

  • They eat cats.

  • Poor! -_-

  • how are you able to teach them the skills required to find food on their own once in the wild?

  • mmmmmmm possum stew.. Granny Clampet could teach you a good recipe for that little sucker once you grew him up and got him all fat..

  • @OldSkaterGuy Yeah, guess your too poor for real food. XD

  • @IRNatman your assumption would be wrong... but you knew that. You are used to being wrong by now.

  • @OldSkaterGuy But you see, If you were not wrong, you would use a real refute. Instead of just saying I'm wrong. :D

  • @IRNatman like the one you just used?

  • @OldSkaterGuy Oh, wow. No refute? Just another ironic statement. So, I'm still waiting for a real rebuttal. :D

  • @IRNatman Look, we can play word games all day long. I also have an education AND a thesaurus so if I get stuck on all your fancy book learnings I can just look up the tricky werds. So do you want to exchange witticisms, or just go about our business?

    And your first assumption was wrong about me, I have yet to taste any possum, but I am willing to try it out.

  • @OldSkaterGuy I wasn't playing "Word games". just using my usual vocabulary. If those words were tricky for you then lol. And, if you are willing to try eating a possum, then what the fuck is wrong with you? I would cook one if I was starving on an island/the wilderness, but just on a normal day? Wow....

  • @OldSkaterGuy Oh OldSkaterGuy, why so butt hurt? Maybe it's from the possums ate. ;)

  • @OldSkaterGuy *you ate

  • @Supernintendogameguy Oh Jesus, a whole gaggle of gaming queers. Did I interrupt your circle jerk fellas?

    nice try loser! Next time you want to insult someone, get your sentence structure down first or it really has no affect.

  • @OldSkaterGuy Wow, so in a corner, you accuse people of being queers. I'll remember that. And, you just don't want my comment to have an effect. So maybe you need to quit eating possums. XD

  • omg :( how cute!!! i had a baby opossum once cuz it was alone and scared and tiny and i sent it to animal rescue

  • sounds like it sneezeing

  • They sound like snakes snapping o-O

  • Fk'n sht dats hideus

  • thats the weirdest sound ive ever heard! lol cute though

  • aww that is soooooo cute

  • Is it possible to raise an orphaned baby possum?

  • KILL IT!

  • @zammy1409 Fuck that!

  • An Alien!!!!!!!!!1

  • I wonder what they taste like

  • tht is a weird noise

  • Why bother raising the baby? I didn't think they were endangered.

  • @mygaffer They aren't. Would you rather have the baby released in the wild and killed?

  • @Sarabazzar That is how nature works.

  • bless you, bless you, bless you, oh my bless you wow you must have a cold. Bless you :D

  • Cutest little white noise generator evah!

  • its noise isnt the cutest of sounds

  • O_O It's like a cross between a dog and a rat...

  • awww D:

  • @MegaPoptartqueen So u want it to be dead. PETA SHOULD READ UR COMMENT.

  • aww thats a newborn.

  • *spraying clorox*

  • @MegaPoptartqueen Ignorant fucking moron.

  • When these things grow up their nothing but giant albino rats on steroids with a fucking anger problem

  • Me and my buddy were walking down the street out of the bushes comes the biggest fucking possum I've ever seen I mean it was 3 times the size of my dog this thing could've got in a fight with a rotweiler and win its tail and head were fucking huge and long and its teeth were just huge but anyway it just so happen to spot us stopped about 20 feet away from us it starts hissing and growling and starts chasing us around our entire neighborhood we barely got away when got in my friends house

  • @bigdealdamon You're sure it wasn't actually a dog?

    Possums don't do any of that... I suppose it could have been rabid, but still.

  • @MegaPoptartqueen

    I understand your concern for such critters, however you must learn to know that the description box is your friend.

  • I fucking hate possums there fucking disgusting and they've done some shit to me ill never forget but all baby animals deserve a chance at life really all animals deserve a chance so your good ppl but when it grows up keep it the hell away from me

  • @bigdealdamon What happened? O.O

  • @bigdealdamon So your saying you want the babies to grow up, but when they do you don't want them alive? Or at least it implies that...

  • Aww...what a cutie!

  • @MegaPoptartqueen >:O meow.

  • I commend you for your work...... These marsupials are misunderstood. I saw one in my backyard a few nights ago it was bigger than a cat. It was the closest I had ever been to one. They eat roadkill, and a sad part is that frequently, they end up becoming it... I love this video. Ignore the stupid people... that's the best we can do. 

  • @yohatube shame ppl think they should shoot them like theyr dangerous! we lived in florida&when we first moved in we had a major bug problem! im talking little & BIG flying roaches all outside around the house&sometimes theyd get IN the house!! i HATE ROACHES &ironically i HATE chemical pesticides! then this possum shows up&sets up house under our deck&in about a month NO MORE BUGS! it was GREAT!! so now whenever i see one in the yard i put out cat food hoping it'll stick 'round 4 DESSERT! lol

  • @RattieKarma Well, if I ever move back to the South opposums are welcome in my yard. I also HATE roaches.

  • @puffballandres Then why kill them? XD

    PS: Capitalize letters. :D

  • It would look a lot better in a blender...

  • Megapoptart you're ignorant

  • @MegaPoptartqueen Mom is dead. She was hit and killed by a car. Only two babies survived the impact. This is one of them. l raised this baby until it was able to go back to the wild.

  • @MaryCummins were they with the mom, or was she still pregnant with them?

  • @shelzz87 Someone found two live babies in their yard. l went and picked them up. No mom was found. Most likely a dog chased mom and two babies fell out.

  • @MaryCummins baby opossums are really cute!!

  • Poor baby :(

  • @xx2n23 you need educating on more than just your English , you ignorant imbeccile

  • Baby raptor!!!

  • or hes saying motherfer let me down

  • Goodness that's a big noise coming from such a little girl.

  • sounds like its sneezeing

  • @eltarasco lmao those where shot years ago! I uploaded them from my camera 2 years ago because I thought it was funny and I didn't have any videos anyway. I can assure you I am not pre-pubescant (sometimes I wish I was) But I can see that you would think that.... But my point is Mr.Sarcasm is that don't go shoot those little guys they did nothing to you : /

  • @eltarasco actually I study law Mr.Sarcasm :)

  • Shouldn't have fed that thing after midnight! 

  • @eltarasco Do you literally go out and shoot them? Because I believe there are some laws against that :)

  • i kept hearing this sound in the middle of the night, last night. I kept getting up trying to figure out what it was, it kept me up all night.

  • lol, demonic pinky xD

  • That thing looks like a failed lab experiment. Destroy it!

  • IT LOOKS LIKE THE LITTLE THING THAT THE BOY HAD IN THE MOVIE THE NAVIGATOR the one that lost his planet and he keeped the little guy. hahahaha

  • @chobitstheoneforme that was a Puckmaren

  • A opossum was living in my attic with her brood when one of the little fuckers dropped down the vent, me being all nice & shit thought that if I Left alone it would find it's way back up the vent, not so he dropped down the vent instead & died, wow it smelled for a while thank god it was summer, I didn't have to turn on the heat, I ran the AC none stop to clear the smell, it was small so it didn't take long to decompose so much for being nice, I should have place him in the attic instead.

  • it sounds like a bottle of windex lol

  • PLEASE i need help. there is some kind of weird creature next to my pool area. it sounds like the noise when you roll your r's but with a higher pitch. i'm sooooooo freaked out about it, and dont know if it is a mammal or a bug or a bird. it sounds like it is trapped or something. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

  • So ugly its cute

  • ew its fugly

  • those things are fucking ugle

  • @eltarasco No, I think i'll stay. ;)

  • @eltarasco lol I hadn't played nintendo in ages. ^_^ And no, I think I'll stay right here.

  • sounds like a computer duster lol

  • possems r ugly littles things

  • @eltarasco Yeah how about shutting up? :)

  • @eltarasco people like you kill things smaller than yourself to give yourself the impression your better than everyone else, how about fighting something that can protect itself? :)

  • @IRNatman Fighting is no small matter. But a man, if he has the will, can take on just about anything and emerge victorious. It is our nature.

  • @Gurgleschlortz Yeah, killing small animals that can't defend themselves makes you a winner. Yeah...... If you were in the wilderness starving to death, then okay, but killing as a sport? Wow.

  • @IRNatman You belittle other people on the internet when they just want to make a statement. I wasn't trying to invoke your terrible wrath, I was just stating a fact. You disgust me with your pretense of civilization and intelligence. I feel sorry for people like you, too caught up in small matters to slow down and start thinking straight. Would you feel the same about humans if an elephant trampled helpless villagers? You pretend to have compassion, but in truth, all you care for is yourself.

  • @Gurgleschlortz Killing small animals wouldn't be be a normal "Statement", and what wrath? I was simply stating my opinion. Wow, I don't like kill animals you say I'm not thinking straight? Wow. "Would you feel the same about humans if an elephant trampled helpless villagers?" Fuck, yeah. I'd have to be a 80 year old nutty animal hoarder with no family to care more about a possum then humans. So, I'm waiting for a real refute. :D

  • @IRNatman I wasn't trying to be rude, but I was saying that a man in the wild is literally the top of the food chain. Please stop being rude to me. I try to state my opinion, I'm sorry if my opinion is not yours and is unintentionally insulting. And my questions were just normal questions, thank you for at least answering. And I do take a claim that I kill without good reason as an insult, it's rude to talk about people that way. I can't see what kind of person you are if you only insult me.

  • @Gurgleschlortz Yeah, humans are on the top of the food chain, (excluding sharks, other large animals) but its not like your killing the possums for food, are you? It is kind of rude to come on here and say "This video makes me feel guilty about shooting these poor creatures. NOT! lol.". "kind of rude" would be an understatement. So, just get your shit together. "I can't see what kind of person you are if you only insult me." Actually, your on the bottom of my list. XD

  • @Gurgleschlortz People that kill animals for fun are sick. Most kids/teens that do will be our future murderers. What did a possum do to you? I'm not a possum person at all, but I do not mind them. They never do anything wrong. Maybe if you had a garden you would want them out, but there is still a slim chance a possum could do anything to a garden. So, just think. You wouldn't do that to a cat or dog, so what's the difference? Just because killing a possum is legal? Sickens me.

  • @Supernintendogameguy Fuck it, I tried being nice. I tried stating my opinion in a nice way. Now every person on the internet has to hop out and say I torture small animals just because I stated that humans are the top of the food chain. All I see is STUPIDITY, IGNORANCE, and INSULTS getting passed around faster than you can blink.

  • @Gurgleschlortz "Fuck it, I tried being nice", yeah, shooting animals is very nice. "I tried stating my opinion in a nice way." yet I quote, "This video makes me feel guilty about shooting these poor creatures. NOT!". "Now every person on the internet has to hop out and say I torture small animals just because I stated that humans are the top of the food chain." AFTER stating "This video makes me feel guilty about shooting these poor creatures. NOT!". Back yourself up better. :3

  • @Supernintendogameguy I've never shot an animal in my life, I would if I needed to, but I haven't needed to. You stray far from the point I am trying to make, and instead find ways to belittle me. I do not condone needless killing, but that doesn't change the fact that humans are the top of the food chain. You find errors in the smallest thing, I'm really trying to be polite here. Please try to be reasonable, I never intended to sound rude before that little outbreak.

  • @Gurgleschlortz Don't worry man. There are still some sane people who agree with you.

    And although I would prefer to trap and relocate wild skunks, raccoons, opposums, etc that get onto my property (the further away the better), I also am not going to lose any sleep if I have to shoot (or drown, in the case of skunks, so they don't spray) them.
