  • I would have been jumped up like damn you caught me lol.But did the kid say can i play with him at the end

  • LEAVE THE POSSOM ALONE

    REALLY

    LETS POKE YOU WITH A STICK

  • Nice, gentle mommy teaching kindness to her child. Need more like her.

  • opossums can carry rabies...i was bit by one about 2 years ago while walking to my car for a cigarette and I had to undergo the shot directly in the stomach...very painful. There may not have been a documented case in over 100 years of an opossum with rabies but they CAN carry it. Luckily the one that got me didn't seem rabid, just protecting her babies.

  • Sarah Palin in the woods?????

  • Why not just leave it alone?

  • Show me one opossum case---ever-- with rabies--I dare you to try!

    I mean a documented case (not a field report) a positive

    Direct Fluorescent Antibody test that was NOT induced in a laboratory. TRY the CDC-- I did--nope don't have any there--try the NY Dept. of Health--nope not there either--how about NJ-no

    Oklahoma-no

    Arkansas-nope

    Not one of the reported rapid opossum cases seems to have a paper-trail,,very interesting!

    RABID opossum --my ass!

    I'm not picking on you, just tired of the myth.

  • lol i dont think its in danger of being eaten, the only thing that will eat a opossum is another opossum,they are prob the only ones nasty enough to eat their self,

  • As far as damage by possums not attacking.They would rather avoid us,unfortunately,ant wind animal cornered can and will inflict a great amount of damage.

    Possums as well as racoons also carry rabies,so even just a light bite will leave you with some serious and painful innoculations...if they catch the animal that inflicted the wound....it's destroyed and decapitated to check for rabies....so Disney,for the wildlife's sake,stay away.Misinformation is fatal to wild critters.

  • freaky looking ass thing.

    little girl in the background sounds cute.
