oh my.... i had my first close encounter with a possum tonight, he was trying to get cat food i put out for the strays. he was terrified of me but didnt hiss or anything he just went away and came back afetr i stopped moving. he really wasnt as cute as this lil guy tho. now i want one!!
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!!!!!!
hey jw, Ive been doing the same thing (feeding my backyard possums) for a while now, and they take the food out of my hand etc. but i havent pat one in ages. when im outside and they come near me i always walk away if i have no food because im scared they might accidentally bite my hand instead? lol would they? or do they just sniff you? I want mine to be that tamed!
That is not a possum looks more like a kinkajou a small tree dweller. It is nocturnal so the light may be burning his eyes. It is best being taken out at night rather than the day.
im a wildlife carer in Australia and this guy is a common brush-tail possum. beautiful nature if in touch with humans regularly but if you encounter in the wild they have claws and teeth that could rip you to shreds.

hahahaha a squirrel on steroids is the best comment ever!!! I'm laughing my ass off!! lol Anyway, I just encountered one of them as well and mine just ran away.. I guess he just didn't see food from me
Are you sure that, that little animal is a possum? It's not like any possum I have ever seen but maybe they don't have that variety of possum where I live in California?
@anaheimdennis that type of possum lives in Australia i know that and they are very friendly if you get them to trust you and feed them i have one like this :D at my house
A few year ago i had a skunk like that. Each time i feed her i was afraid she might piss the stinky sauce. But she never did, she was a nice skunk.
You got a very nice wild pet. Just don't try to force your penis inside its mouth, like that idiot did with a raccoon. His dick was bitten off and worst of all he had to get rid of the raccoon.
Is what you're giving it a treat made for possoms specifically or is that some human snack I am seeing there? If you are feeding human food, please stop. It will become unhealthy.
lol.. Glad I'm not the only 1 that feeds the beautiful possums.. not 2 often.. just occasionally.. we pat ours too & have a mumsy that brings her new babies , usually 3 a year... & all the other siblings visit 2..
watch out tho, cos those claws & teeth can make a nasty bite or scratch, accidently - of course.. lol.. =0)
LOL we have one that comes around all the time. my Landlord wanted to get rid of it until i showed him your vid now he leaves cat food out and named him Rodney.
@LaceHearts yeah that is true they'll hiss for sure or they will just drop play dead LOL I find it funny for some reason when they do that. I once when I lived at my parents I thought my cat was on the fence it was pretty dark outside and it looked black so I thought oh its my cat turne as i got closer it was a baby opossum the thing didn't hiss or anything or play dead. I did not see the mother around. I kept on feeding it and every night it came back. I fed it carrots and cat food.
I get both - really tame friendly ones, usually the babies of the mothers I have fed over the years - then new ones who are scared. NEVER been hissed at though - probably because I feed them all - nice or not.
Very cool!!! It's nice to see people that respect animals. I don't have any, but HATE WHEN I SEE PEOPLE TORTURING, HUNTING(FOR NO REASON) THEM OR KILLING THEM. Good job!
THAT'S A POSSUM!!?? Most of the possums I've seen (none in real life...) look more like rats... but that thing looks closer to a tree kangaroo (btw... I love rats, so it wasn't an insult...)
@KittyCatRat the possums in New Zealand and Australia and the opossums here are two distinct groups of marsupials. They share the name because they are similar in appearance, at least to other species of opossum (there are quite a few).
What a lovely little guy. That thing seems way more friendly than my cat :D When I went to AUS last year I got scared shitless right during the first week when at first I thought there was a cat sitting on a fence and when I came closer it turned out to be a possum. Had never seen one before that %)
i found like a one day old one when me and my dad were going on a walk and when we came back there was our friend cat arin licking his lips! i was like NOOOOO POOR GUY! XD
