The opposum is adorable running with those cute legs. 🥰

@@keith7578 not that's a possum

@@biggibbs4678 No, no it is not. Opossum are a species of American marsupials, in fact they are the only marsupials native to the Americas. Possum are a species of marsupial that live in Australia. This one is an Opossum, not a Possum.

ltbrooks no there not😂👏🏾

You mean Opossums, both Possum and Opossum are different

Thanks for the info. Because I got one hanging around my house.good to know that. Hope they eat lizards to LoL 😂

Its what i thought with the video

Jj T for tree walking it’s best

Horses have four different gaits. They can walk, trot, canter and gallop and the sequence for moving their legs is different for each one. Humans only have two legs so we only have one gait.

The guy with the dog wasn't very smart at all. But some people were born stupid

Can confirm they like cats. My grandmother has a bunch of strays that hang around her barn, and possums with occasionally come eat with them lol

@@galacticcactus5530 Yep! Used to have 2 outdoor cats I'd feed on the front porch. one night caught a possum chowing on their food-also explained what was happening to the dead mouse heads my cats would leave me there. Few nights later, I watched through the window, the possum walked up right between the two cats to eat. he didn't care, just strutted up like he owned the place :) One cat just looked at him like what the heck are you, and swatted at him. Possum ignored him and went to eating. Cat just figured whatever and started eating too. Cats are now inside cats, but still put food out for possum-not sure if same one, or how long they live, think it is same one though. So other night, noticed a raccoon eating out there. So put extra bowl out, and was thinking wonder what would happen if raccoon comes up when possums eating. Literally few mins later, it happened. Raccoon is rather skittish, he slowly sauntered up, looking around. Possum looked at him, shoved his bowl away from it, kept eating. Raccoon finally got the nerve and started in on his bowl. Funny too, they don't chow down every bit of food, it's like they leave a bit for the other one. And, they don't care for tomatoes or green peppers-those got tossed out of the bowl lol.

My tabby cat who chases dogs was chased by a possum in his own yard one night, and i was so pissed that i lost all interest in liking or caring for possums. I chased it away and pushed it off my fence. Later a baby possum became their friend. So confusing. I have a dog now. No more possums.

Y'know the difference in height an UFO flying in the sky is compared to an Opossum running in the ground? Very, very big.

Also, don't know if you by chance noticed this, but the shakier and more out of focus a UFO video is, the more popular it becomes. It adds to the excitement and mystery. I've lost count of how many shaky-cam "I don't know how to focus" UFO videos I've seen where the focus is blowing in and out massively and the camera person is saying stupid s*** like "Wow, look, it keeps changing shape!" It's practically the law with UFO vids - you *must* be the worst cameraman ever or turn it over to someone that is!

If cornered they are very mean

Have you looked into getting licensed yourself? You would be perfect for that :)

They can rarely catch rabies

Aw so sweet 💝 I would have kept her. People have them as pets. I don't know how difficult it is to get a license but you should look into it, you sound like you would be great doing that!

I dont know, if I had bonded with an animal like that the state would have to pry it off my cold, dead hands before they took it from me.

Probably because the dogs almost the same size as it

It's being playful, not aggressive

stop look toons, the opossum was terrified, you are sadic

The dog made the possume upset.

I dont think it's wild. I think the people who own the dog also own the oppossum. No one would let their dog mess with a wild animal and no wild oppossum would be that bold.

They don't do it with other small animals. Only big animals like cougars and bears or a dog. Not a tiny terrier

@@misconceptions5613 false

@@jacobohl599 how

Was probably a domesticated Opossum.

Ike_ Nike no not this possum ....this one wants smoke

A fed animal is a dead animal. Doing that to any animal will cause them to lose fear of humans. As you can see in the comment sections here, people WILL kill them if they see them, because those people were never loved as kids and take it out on animals. Who knows what they do to kids or their spouses.

Mitch No, they are like gremlins, never feed them after dark. Trust me. They multiply instantly and release havoc unknown to most

@@SonicBoone56 nobody asked

@@lapiscake1211 and? It needs to be said.

Yes. I've had numerous outdoor pet possums over the years who loved to sneak into the house. They loved to take over the cat tree and eat the cat food. I once left a box of cookies on my bed and later I returned to find a very happy possum covered in oreo crumbs.

HOW DARE YOU MOCK MY PEOPLE

It's because they have hands on all four limbs. They are really awesome climbers, but awkward on the ground.

Why on earth would you think opossum cannot get rabies?!? Please use caution when making public claims, because when they are incorrect, as yours was....that spreads ignorance and might end up getting a child or novice to wild animals seriously hurt or killed if they believe what you post as fact. I love opossum and think they are marvelous animals that get a plagued reputation from most people just because they commonly don't know very much about them....like the fact their version of chocolate is slugs...so if we didn't have these lil nocturnal helpers....people would likely be complaining over the tons of slugs on their property, gardens, et al. Plus, if you've ever done a necropsy on them, then you'd see how very polluted they tend to be from an array of parasites...because of cleaning up carrion. The bacteria levels in the mouth alone are outstanding....so if you do get bitten, you have other worries added onto possible rabies. I don't mention these facts to make anyone fear them in the sense to eradicate them...i say it in the sense of caution...they are wild animals and have their place next to ours....just give them space. While this video may seem cute, what happens if that opossum takes this behavior into practice while some child or elderly person is walking their dog who may not be as fast or ready to deal with a chasing opossum?---not real considerate to others, opossum included.

+Heather Lockard they very rarely get it it's a very large misconception

+megan Mena ,my point wasn't how often it occurs, but the fact that it can and sometimes does....opossum are not immune to rabies...so somebody stating that they cannot get rabies is incorrect and since this is public and read by all age groups...didn't think it was right having incorrect information out there. So, the only misconception really was the fact the person i replied to said opossum cannot get rabies...which, is an absolutely false statement. They have an incredible immune system, also why they can withstand so much exposure (like parasites galore and various bacterial strains) which would otherwise very much shorten or kill most other mammals speedily....much like some of the bacteria found amongst the teeth/gum area of snakes and the komodo dragon...it is more dangerous than the physical bite....but, they get along fine with it...it aids them. I think you misunderstood me though....i'm not saying it is rampant....just stating that they can get rabies....i'd hate for a little kid to have read what that other person said and took it for truth, that they cannot get rabies...because we dont have radar for it in living animals besides some onset behaviors....so what if some kid got bit by one who was rabid and therefore did not get medical attention right away...thinking, cant get rabies...its a opossum!----then that's somebody's life is very tragically and painfully gone. People getting rabies and not being aware enough to get treatment is not unheard of these days and its an awful way to go..it is more controlled now, but still present. Same as bubonic plague....there are lots of people who think that's been gone AGES ago....it isn't...there are population outbreaks throughout the world....here in the U.S, it is prevalent in pockets of the south western part of the country....some parks having to shut down to control outbreaks. I just dislike incorrect information being advertised in sorts...it would be relatable to me stating here for all to read and maybe believe, that humans can live off ANY water source....then somebody would go chugging some good ole amoeba infested water, get some in their lungs and clickity clack they got some new neighbors renovating their brain....misinformation sucks. ;)

+Heather Lockard that was mostly un necisarry. anyone with a brain knows that nothing is impossible and the likley hood is SO SO low that they can contract and sustain rabies. it's just uneccissary to freak out so badley. please don't act like a social justice hero... " the children " ....

Right

To a little dog that possum is the size of the giant rat swaps in the Princess bride movie…that little dog is going to have nightmares. I would’ve picked my dog up and kicked a field goal with that possum coming at him like that

Once the possum bite, they won't let go.

Wtf is wrong with you people? The dog is much faster than the possum, and it had the owner right there where it could go for cover if needed. The poor possum was just trying to make the dog stop approaching its ass.

-possums are sweetheartssss

she ( I think) had to go home and rest for sure.

I've seen an RH- person that is a opossum Walt Disney a wild rat trump douche' is a nasty hippopotomus

DetroitToTX65 but they are a nuisance. My garage is living proof. Got 3 out so far. They're assholes. They are nosey and wreak your stuff. They purposely open drawers of screws, nuts or bolts and throw them on the floor. Don't get me started on the rubber bands. They dump things out of plastic containers and knock things off of shelves. Ohh so cute. I'm sure you'd being saying that after cleaning up their shit.

Patria Fernandez I don’t think it was playing lmao

Nah he wasn't playing at all

He's not playing.

Possums aren't aggressive at all, but then again not very playful either

Lmao that’s literally what he was thinking 😂

Dave F yeah and wouldnt the dog have growled or sonething?

Heck, when it comes to opossums, rabies are hardly a risk at all anyways because they're pretty much immune, hhh.

Just look up itsmesesame on Instagram and you'll find a new appreciation for opossums forever.

Playing? Wtf? The dog was terrified

@@anneligromov1823 i mean, that even happens when two dogs are playing sometimes. i don't think the opossum was scared but the dog was

Yeah the owner/leash holder is a cunt piece of shit.

may be someones pet... seemed domesticated

i use to feed them at my old house i was a really curious kid one night i over stepped by bounds and i slowly opened the back door, possum eating on our picnic table, and he didn't see me i was gonna stay there but i tripped and holy hell it was LOUD and the poor possum nearly had a heart attack it jumped off the table and ran across our massive backyard lawn in like 5 mili seconds...holy cow can they move! i felt bad i probably scared a year off its little life :(

@@kimmyfreak200 I don't think that's how it works they also have very poor eyesight they will literally just accidentally walk up on you and then freak out because they didn't see you

your so full of lies

+Tom Leeds It's not being aggressive at all, as it's not making any of the proper aggressive behaviors. Also pretty sure i've seen this opossum and neighborhood by a local breeder. Lastly, opossums cannot have rabies- their body temperature is too low and they have a specific antibody against it. There has not been a single verifiable case confirming rabies in an opossum in world history.

Sin Vraal Well, since you focused on it, I did not say it had rabies, in fact I was pretty clear that was unlikely. I have seen a lot of opossum and the only ones I have seen in daylight have been woken up or domesticated since they are pretty much strictly nocturnal. But even the domesticated ones were far more likely to run away rather than take chase. AND YES, taking chase is being aggressive, unless it is intended as play and that animal did not look like it was looking to play.

Chasing is not aggressive behavior for opossums because they do not do that when being aggressive. They sidle and sway their heads, open their mouths wide without closing, hiss and growl, and feign lunges. None of this was being done by the above pet opossum, so it is overwhelmingly clear that there was no danger here.

+Sin Vraal OK, you clearly consider yourself an opossums expert & I am not hear to argue about it.

The Opossum just wanted to be left alone. If it had gotten ahold of the dog, it probably wouldn't have known what to do next. LOL

The opossum sensed fear in the dog so decided to assert its dominance

opossums aren't aggressive but they hiss unless they think they can't win

V hahahahahahahah

Lol but the way the opossum be opening his mouth though like that was something like for real it felt like me getting bite like no I'm serious if you're in a scary move or Sean you feel like your in it and now my bran be messing me up like oh I'm the dog now like for real

d y that is an old wives tail....it is very common for a mother possum to come out during the day to find food for her babies

Saw one carrying its babies today while fishing, it’s on r/fishing, posted today if you want proof, but it wasn’t aggressive at all, and I don’t think it had rabies, just searching for food

It’s not impossible for them to have rabies. It its. Rey rare. They can carry rabies. Bieber I too have heard it’s unusual for them to be out during the day also and I have never seen one tbis aggressive Just shows you each one can be very different

whats odd is this possum didn't give the teeth warning, when they open their mouth and hiss showing their teeth...no playing dead... he looks super healthy and very clean it may be someones pet that got out...she seemed out of place too like when she sniffs the area where there was trees and twigs...bet u anything this is someones domesticated pet which explains why she was so brazen

Any mammal can, but for animals with low body temps like possums, its almost impossible.

Agreed. It's rare for an Opossum to be so aggressive.

I'm a wildlife rehabber. I live on a farm with wooded areas and we have a lot of opossum and therefore I'm able to witness much of their behavior...This opossum is just fine. Fact: while opossums are essentially nocturnal, there are instances where you will see them out in the day and it's perfectly normal. Momma opossums forage for food during daylight hours because it is safer for them than at dusk or during the night when most predators are out hunting. So, if you see an opossum out foraging for food during the day, leave it alone, there is a 99.99999999% likelihood it does NOT have rabies and may be a pregnant female or one with babies. Other reasons you'll see them during the day- during cold weather (like winter months) when their foraging habits will change from night to day so they can forage in the warmer daytime hours. They'll also forage during the night well into the day when food is scarce. Generally speaking, when threatened, they will show aggressive behavior (growling, hissing, charging etc) and stand their ground, if that fails they play dead, but while some do fight, it's not considered the norm. However, the fact this one was trying to scare off the dog may just be more proof she is either pregnant or has joeys in her pouch. Other facts: Not only are opossum nearly impervious to the rabies virus, but have near total immunity to the venom of poisonous snakes. Surprisingly, they also are quite intelligent and can figure their way out through a maze quicker than other animals. They are very beneficial and a single opossum can kill as many as 4,000 deer ticks per week

@@WWF90904hahaha WHAT 😂

Why are you paranoid people in every single comment section of pet videos? You realize an unhealthy wild possum wouldn't be playing around like this right?

I don’t think that’s playing. I get people are saying “Possums Don’t have rabbis” and all that but they are still wild animals.. I don’t think in the eyes of that opossum they where “playing”

Cancer Lost_Soul it was probably threatened since opossums are solitary animals. They probably aren’t very used to such close interactions, especially from another species of animal.

@@natalie9600 I have only just noticed this comment three years later but I cannot resist commenting that it is true that possums do not have rabbis. Possums aren't Jewish.
