Trail Camera | Red Fox & Opossum Encounter

Foxes are an omnivorous species, and are no stranger to a good opossum meal - however, opossums come equipped with a set of 50 sharp teeth and will put up more of a fight than the average fox is willing to engage with! In this trail camera clip, the opossum shows off its greatest defense to keep the red fox at a distance, although the fox’s curiosity doesn’t seem to be deterred. Instead, it is sniffing about to pick up information about this critter, most likely logging it for future reference.

I know absolutely nothing about American Opossums so watching this gave me some insight to their defensive behavior. Its fascinating stuff

The least the fox could do is pretend to be scared.

That is cool. My dogs have killed many opossums that were trying to eat my ducks and chickens. I need to get a trail cam to get footage to put on my channel with my other animals. Subbed, liked, black belled.
