The Opossum, America’s only Marsupial, does also eat ticks, however, they eat far less than previously thought. They do carry diseases that can be very harmful to livestock and game, however they are very unlikely to carry rabies due to their low body temperature. There has never been a case of an opossum transmitting rabies to a human. Every wild animal can bite. It’s all about the level of provocation. Humans CAN get rabies and bite, however, I wouldn’t classify us as rabid biters. This is a video is not to say their population should not be controlled regarding game and livestock. Do what you need to do to protect your interest, however, they are not the scary critters they want you to think they are. #opossums #opossum #opossumsoftiktok #animalsoftiktok #animalrescue

The Tree Kitten, my favorite Florida Marsupial! This cute little bundle of love, Pepper is one of the animal ambassadors at Oakland Nature Preserve and if you visit, you just might get to see her or her wild counter parts as they wander around looking for something tasty. Possums are all bark and no bite, They love to hiss and look mean but are not a danger or threat to people, if you find one in the wild, just give them a moment to scurry by you and they will be out of your way!
