- Perhaps the most misunderstood creature, very gentle and docile by nature. They only act mean in their defense mode, given the chance, they will flee. Excellent at killing mice, snakes, and other pest. They are good for the environment and should not be feared and do not carry rabies.

I also eat strawberries like this
Pink Cashmere Omg I laughed so hard at that!
thats NOT okay!!! lol

Pink Cashmere lol..
spit on my computer screen :)
What an unusual cat
Legend
LOL
I lol'd at this
Savage
A very cute one too
Fact these cuties help prevent the spread of lyme disease by eating many ticks
They also don’t have a high enough body temperature to harbor rabies so unlike a lot of people think, they VERY rarely have rabies!!
emily sanders really?!
angelofdeath275 it’s true
*The Senator of New Jersey wpuld like to know your location*
He deserved that strawberry
It's like some sort of adorable goblin rat cat, with a sweet disposition.
Somehow goblin+cat produces such sweetness
🐼 😸 🐀🥰
I found one in my yard once so I fed it macaroni and pet it.
***** She didn't actually shoot it though, right? Once it plays dead it can be moved, according to animal control. It's actually in a paralyzed state for at least a few minutes. Nothing to cry about.
Ditcher Lone funniest shit ever posted!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You really shouldn't feed strawberries macaroni
Was it mom's spaghetti?

Yum!
Possums are super cute. I think the only reason I wouldn't get one is their short lifespan. It's be hard to lose one after only a few years.
Well u aint gun get dwarf hamster em livin just 1 year doe still like em
Tarkusine
same...
one of my possums is just over 11 years old. captive life spans are WAY higher.
there gross
Possums are not gross. They aren't like rats or mice or anything at all.
I love how possums just cram everything into their mouth and then try to chew it. So adorable!
Opossum: *just eats*
The internet: look at her go! You're doing great honey.
His face just lights up as he's chewing, and it's so adorable!
He's in a moment of pure ecstasy.
"hmm ok whats this... this is interesting....oh dayum!!! this is delicious!!!"
...
"umm...you got any more of those by any chance?"
My spouse and I put out a whole bunch of strawberries on our front lawn thinking that the squirrels would love them. That night, we had a possum in the yard munching on the strawberries and looking like s/he was in heaven. I've been feeding the little one every night now. S/he's very quiet and sweet.
Great work
You had so many strawberries you could put them out for squirrels? Wow. Here they are so expensive that you can't even buy them for yourself. Maybe once or twice a year on special occasions.
@Dina L These prices are out of control ridiculous. 25 cents for a single potato over here. A POTATO! The literal poor man's vegetable!
@@keld_rhygar I pay €5.95 a kilo for potatoes, €6 for 400 grams of strawberries, €2 for a lemon.
Life is not cheap.
@@jamegumb7298 Where do you live? Because those are some outrageous prices.
I love how they use their paws as smol hands when they are eating ❤️
Thank you for being kind and loving to this innocent animal that does not harm us in any way, but does protect us from lyme disease. Peace be with you and again thank you for not harming this loving marsupial.
💗
@@sarahubbert3978 💗
And thank *YOU* for supporting them.
He's so cute, why don't people find these guys cute!?
I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
june, opossums are just ugly in general. That's only my opinion, skunks are the cutest animals I think.
The only reason i came os to show my mom how cute because she said they UGLY
I don't know, I always thought 'possums are cute, too.
@@HypixLYT oh no! Possums are cute lil Heartbreakers.
I love how it first takes the strawberry all dainty-like, but then goes straight into full-on OM NOM NOM mode.
I am in love with possums. I love their little hands and the way they chew.
This cured my depression and gave me hope to live
:'3
They are not pests, but get a bad rap. They are sweet, gentle loving creatures. And the only Marsupial in North America.
They are harmless and quite docile, scare easy but slow motion or just observing will usually not frighten them. We feed 3 or so on the porch and can watch from right outside the glass. Each will usually have a personal marking on it, white tips on ears, different shades of gray, or darker patches. thanks for writing.
its probably not advised to touch them though. it would be very unlikely to be attacked and even more so to be pursued, and also i dont think they carry diseases, but its very stressful on them when they encounter a human, especially if they are blinded by the light. They show their teeth and gurgle kinda a snarly growl but if that dont work they dont really have a plan B (it works most of the time for most things it encounters). The "playing possum" is an involuntary overstressed anxiety response and it can work itself into a more traumatic shock the older it gets and some of them dont come out of it. They will not harm a person and shouldnt be feared but its important to remember most do not know your intentions and you dont wanna scare the poor lil things too much. feeding them, especially in stormy wintery times and not shooing them away is a very nice and youll probably wont have to worry about it hurting your property or other animals so theres no need to be mean but i wouldnt mess with them too much for their own sake.
This video has improved my life on this planet.
What a beautiful pet Possum. I noticed the love and appreciation in its eyes toward you, its owner. May you have many years of joy with your cuddly companion. ❤⏳🍓

Is what you tell all the men?

That's what she said
Is that... RÉMI?!
Why are opossums considered pests? I've only seen 4 of them in my life and they all seemed like really sweet animals to me.
Erin Delic In a word, it is called ignorance, what people don't understand they fear, and what they fear, gets tagged with all kinds of rumors. They do not tear up things like raccoons. And they are not part of the rat family, squirrels are....the list could go on and on but anyway, thanks for writing..
Wild ones are really dangerous because they'll fight and might have rabies. They're "pests" because they get into garbage cans and spread trash all over the yard. Not unlike cats and dogs(lol) Only these opossums raised by humans since birth are actually safe to pet and love on. But they're so precious.
FatalError This one was not raised from birth, it was young but gentle from day one. And with all due respect, show me one documented case of rabies in a possum. There are cases, the last one I found was from 2002, and only one in the entire US. The possum is the least likely to have rabies of all mammals. They may appear to be rabid by their self defense mode which included drooling with an open mouth but that does not mean it is rabid. Best regards,,,cudaviper.
FatalError very false statement. They carry least amount of rabies out of most animals..
cudaviper Brook Burps I said "they might have rabies"
Down here in the south, children are taught to stay away from raccoons and opossums at all costs for fear of rabies. While they might not actually have them, most people do believe that they do. Not as many people as you'd think study up on these animals. They are considered pests because people fear them, and thus dislike them. I've never in my life met a single person who said "its just a opossum go pet it" More people than not fear these animals because of rabies possibilities, even though it may not be true.
Now THIS is what CZcams was made for
Cute animals.
Listen to that smacking!! I love it. So cute.
Possums (or Opossums) are considered extremely human friendly, more than most animals. As pets they stay loyal till the end.
My absolute favorite marsupial. Simply adorable although a lot of people are put off by their tails. I'd love to have a pet one - right now I am feeding a free roaming gal I named Blossom who comes around every night to eat up the cat food I leave out. Sometimes an apple I left also disappears. These sweet creatures have a very short life span for their size so please be kind if you encounter one. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..........
I dont find them one bit ugly
That tail is amazing a possum can hang upside from tree limbs, the most amazing little creature in USA !
Possums are adorable but make a mess of your trash
I didn’t search for this but I’m not disappointed at all
What a sweet baby. Using lil hands to Hold the Berry. Absolutely deserving of pets and headscratches.
I don't care if I am the only one likes an outcast because I know the feeling. But that possum is adorable. Last night, there was a feral cat brought it's friend, a possum to my doorstep and that possum just hanged out, so gave it some snacks and it crunched so loud and cute. It had dark shiny fur, not nasty looking like some and I filmed it, then researched all about it. Was surprised to see how misinformed I was as to what this creature is and what it is not, that this is a creature you want to keep around to help gather up ticks against lyme disease, that it will help get rid of snakes and mice in the yard, that they do not get rabies because their temperature stays low, etc, etc....
Thanks for bringing awareness to this animal! Do not know if your baby is still alive. They say that possums only live 1-2 years in the wild. September should be "Possum Awareness Month", and each month an awareness of different animals, especially outcast or endangered animals.
thank you and good for you. in the wild, they, like all that live there have shorter life spans. those who are inside and well cared for live much longer. although no matter how well a possum has it, their life is maxing at around 4. Thank you for caring and best regards.
and August can be Opossum Awareness Month.
cudaviper
We need to make genetically engineered super opossums who can live as long as their human companions. Think the opossum version of the twenty primarchs.

Excellent idea. Wish they could, Thanks.
Justme booboo u waisted all ur time typing dis
I have now got a different perspective of this beautiful creature
Ammar Z is just because this one is kind of cute believe me most of them look disgusting and are ugly as shit
+Jonnylightning I don't believe you.
What does it matter?
(Ah, one of the best uses of the internet ... . 🙂 )
we used to have a mother possum in our neighbor hood who slept in our shed. We fed her leftovers, and she was like a tiny (but chubby) dog.
One whole chompy boi! Totally cute.
this is the cutest thing ever

VERY sweet! I've never seen an opossum that tame. They've lived around my house but none have let me come near them.
Looking back at this, it really brought a big smile to my face. The way it gingerly took the strawberry and comically chewed it, then rolled over for the human gently stroking it... and no doubt that was a big smile on it's face. Just adorable, especially for a wild animal.
Albert Schepis right! That look when he seen the strawberry! Like "oh a strawberry, ok" and grabbed it with its LIL HAND! Omg his hand is so cute! X) i just cant...omg,i want one lol
I have about six possums in my backyard and they are so sweet and precious I feed them every night
He’s so Happy! Smiling while eating!
Always had a soft spot for possums ! Thanks for telling how harmless they really are. They cannot jump up, so they are not usually going to bother garbage cans. I did read that IF you were to care for one, they MUST have a varied and proper diet as they will develop a bone disease/malformation. Just FYI. I now put large branches in my recycling bin as several have gotten stuck in them cause they couldn't climb out (can't jump, remember). They don't live long and I don't mind helping them out.
Omg it's so cute how it goes num num num num ah my heart 😭💕
thank you i needed this in my life
Aww! What a lovely memory! I see that the video is pretty old - how nice that you can come back and remember this sweet moment and that darling face.
Yogurt, they can not resist it, we put out hard cat food for our wild one and a bowl of water. We have 3 young ones and 2 older ones that come by each night, I usually have to fill the bowl twice. Also any kind of left over food you eat make for a nice meal as well. Thanks for writing, let me know how it goes. They will come right up next to the door to eat or anywhere close where you can watch. Hearing is excellent, vision not so good.
He eats louder than me ol' mate Lee.
That possum is actually being cute and nice.
10/10 an excellent video, the title was perfect and the opossum is adorable. Thank you.
Less lip smacking then most Twitch streamers surprisingly
Glad you enjoyed the special company of possums, there are a delight to be around. You know the ignorance of a lot of folks in this whole world is disturbing, it is no surprise to me that some would try to attack this video. There are just plain stupid and down right mean people out there but none so far I have not been able to bitch slap back into their self centered hole they live in. On a lighter note, thanks for enjoying the video and for writing.
Awwh.. I love this! Thank you for sharing 🕊 I want a possum now 🕊
Thank you, I needed this
What kind of dog is that?
😂😂
Possum. Canine... correction, marsupial. North Americas ONLY marsupial. Can breed up to 13 babies. Dog? no sir..
bob jones 2 month old joke...
Allen Morgan Old joke? Sir, the internet is forever. You're history is intact and maleable. This old joke is new to the' There for I repeat. Canine.. No, Marsupial.. *applause*. :)
bob jones okay......
Very cute! Did you raise him from a baby? How old is he now? Does he live in the house with you like a cat?
Thank you soo much little buddy. I needed that.
I never knew I needed this until now
Oh so cute!!! AWWWWW!!!
"Holy crap, lady! Just give me the food and stop with the torture for dessert!"
This is the kind of wholesome content I'm here for
The possums that come by my place for a drink of clean water love bananas, Apple & dry 35% dry cat food. I'll try strawberry!
Aw, this is so adorable!
Undeniably adorable. Thank you for sharing. 🍓🍓🍓
I absolutely can't stand the sounds humans make when they eat or chew, but I can listen to this adorable little one munch all day 😍
Those are some precious nummy noises from the little window sill baby cake!
I cannot get over those dexterous little fingers! So precious!!!!
Our "Squeaky" loved grapes and strawberries!
Он так мило изучает клубнику перед тем как её скушать~
Oh gosh they are so cute! How can people not just love them? Adorable.
They have the cutest eyes and they look super- soft.
Possums are a lot like raccoons with their little hands.
Gosh, he chews his food a heck of a lot more than most humans.
I'm glad this was in my recommended and there's no clickbait :)
I always loved possums! Their little pink noses an hands are so cute!❤
Sooooooooooo cute!!!
My heart melted so freaking cute
Okay, that's freaking adorable. Also, rather high quality footage for 2011.
Every creature, great or small, deserves kindness.
I know what you mean, two completely different animals, the Australian version reminds me of a cross between a monkey and squirrel. Very fast, jumps great distances and quick, they also seem to be very aware. As the north american version is seems to be much slower, not near as keen to surrounding objects, and although they do climb in trees, they move like the koala. On the ground they can get up to speed but nothing like the down under version. thanks for writing.
i'd be scared of the claws. on that human. lol. seems like a sweetie though, glad you're taking good care of it.
This is my all time favorite CZcams video!
I knew these were so good with their tails but omg look at how they get things with their paws 😱 these animals are amazing. I love them. 😊
oh my god it eats like someone who has their wisdom teeth coming in
Dem nails doe
On the lady, not the possum

Wizard actually.
***** Every word we speak in modern english as well as its spelling is the result of someone else's creation and then the adoption of a trending variation of a previous way to speak. Don't be so quick to pass judgement just because you don't see the point. Especially with english, we butcher so many words that are currently used in other languages. I don't personally like intentionally mispelling words, but you don't have be such a dick about it.
***** dat hair doe
Omg..cuteness overload!! Thats a beautiful opossum
He is so friggin cute it's beyond words, and I love his smacking sound he makes when he eats. I love him! He also chews similar to a pig when you watch him chomp. And that's a good thing.
May I ask what is the life expectancy of a domesticated possum? I read 1 to 2 years for those living in the wild and was so disheartened.
+Klay Re It's true and unexplainable. They have the shortest life span of any mammal that size and scientist don't know why. They sleep a lot and do not move quickly most of the time. They do grow very fast, reproduce the first year, but no matter the quality and care given, it is short compared to a cat or dog. JJ lived 3.5 years and I have heard of one that made it 5, but that is rare. 1 to 2 outside, 2 to 3 inside. Thanks for asking, most do not know this fact and your are so right, it is disheartening.
+cudaviper Oh, I'm sorry to hear about JJ. I would have never expected they lived only 1-2 years more when in captivity. It reminds me of ferrets, although they can live a bit longer.
I'm sure JJ's time with you has been wonderful.
+Klay Re Thank you, I learned a great deal via interaction with her and now rescue/rehab and release injured and orphaned ones. Her life meant something to the species and to me and I move forward with it and embrace the knowledge gained. Best regards and appreciate your interest.
+Klay Re wuh? Ferrets live just as long as dogs and cats. 10-13 years.
+Chris Grabenhorst Hmm, I was reading a few articles online and, while some say 5-7 years, others say ferrets can live up to 10, but it's rare.
Hey America? Can we trade possums? You're all crazy batshit about our Australian possums, and I think I'm in love with these adorable goofballs.
+Joshua Madoc I agree..everyone things Australian possums are cuter but I think opossums are cuter.
The way possums eat seems like a good way to get the most flavor out of anything
he looks so, so happy. how cute
awww, that was cute! 😄
Damn you made me saw "aww" about an opossum. How dare you? ;)
LOL...check out my other one, Key Bored possum....thanks.
Stacy Baker Big mouth got banned, sorry bout that Stacy.
cudaviper Thanks :)
ikr i hate possums but this was adorable and so are they but they can be kind of ugly
His little hands are so cuuuute!
Nothing beats the sound of a possum nomming! Adorable!
I remember when I had a pet Skeever... They were smaller back then.
That was awesome! Nom nom!
He looks so happy! I love possums
He's so beautiful!
smack smack smack smack😂😂😂. sounds like me eating laffy Taffy's
is so cute
Just pure adorable and loveable!!!
after years of watching my dogs inhale handfuls of food in .02 seconds, I really appreciated this
Isn't it against the law for wildlife to keep humans as pets?
Fuck the law, its not immoral unless they're abducted.
@@Isaac-ho8gh You may want to re-read that.
@@chitinskin9860 why? The law is generally terrible.
@@chitinskin9860 oh sorry lol, I thought the OP asked if its against the law to keep wildlife as pets.
@@Isaac-ho8gh Sorry, deleted previous comment, but yeah, doubt that was meant to be taken seriously. Only house cats own people and they aren't even wild. Word placement is key.

Son hermosos estos animalitos !!!!!!!! Y parecen muy sociables !!!!!
Look at her she’s so gentle
