A storm came through and separated these 2 babies from their momma. My neighbor raised them until they were old enough to make on their own and released them into the wild.
They are not aggressive creatures, and while technically yes. It would require a lot of poor decisions on the humans part to get bit. Opossums are conflict averse, and try to avoid fighting by any means at their disposal(Running away/Threat displays like growling and teeth bearing/Playing dead/etc). To get bit you'd have to deny it every possible alternative. Aka agitate one, corner it, pester it, and after all that, put your in close enough for it to bite.
Finally, an official possum song.
Beautiful and unique creatures. Shockingly intelligent too. Shame their lifespans are so short when compared to most mammals.
Is he agresive?
Can bite human?
