1.4K views · 122 reactions | "under the shed cam" opossum Fun Fact: Opossums CAN'T get rabies, their body temperature is too low for the virus to survive like it does in other mammals, such as raccoons and bats. If you see an opossum in defense mode, such as hissing, drooling, or swaying, don’t assume it’s rabid. These are bluff behaviors used to outsmart potential predators. #undertheshed | Critter Cam | Facebook

The #opossum in the clinic was a tad shy to eat infront of anyone today.. opossums are generally shy and non-aggressive creatures that prefer to avoid confrontation. They are gentle marsupials whose primary defense mechanisms are to scare potential threats away by hissing and showing their teeth, or to "play dead" (go into a state of tonic immobility) if they feel truly cornered. They will also try to flee and hide if given the chance.. she couldn’t resist the food though ❤️ wildsoulswildiferesc
