Dodo do you know why dislike your vids
The Dodo i LOVE OPOSSUMS NOW THX TO U PEOPLES THX SOO MUCH
Infant Hercules you just jelly so huss up the save animals what do u do? Huh exactly😒
The Dodo Kricket is a girl!
Having a best friend that only lives 3 to 5 years would do horrible things to my heart.
@Baggy Sweater Oh, that would be even more heart wrenching. Rats are super sweet animals.
Umm its better than have a hamster that only live for 1-3 years like me :(
Yeah but rats😥
@@lightningmcgeequeen8091 I think that you are relating them to sewer or wild rats... when they are domesticated they are completely different, trust me.
@@cringeaccount1933 Hamsters are very sweet too. I love Hamsters.
My Possum's name was Opie. It's been over 40 years since we parted ways but I still miss him. Raised him from just a few days old when he was found on the road. Wonderful pet.
I just named a feral opossum " Opie" that was hiding in my luggage 🧳 bag that I keep in my yard.He was hiding out from barking dogs and prowling cats and shivering from fear , not cold.
He looked so little & vulnerable that I felt he needed it 🧳 more than I did & I
let him smell me & gave him a carrot &
celery & a few other things, I was going to try petting him but didn't want to scare him.He lived in that bag for a good week + ( He never deficated in it ! ) He came in my open mail slot in the door , up the steps , and laid on my legs while I was sleeping ! He bonded w me & visits from time to time ! I think his mama died when he was barely weaned ! They are truly amazing !
The bad thing about animals is they just don't live long enough. My pets mean the world to me. Past and present pets are forever in my heart 💓
Brenda, I read this a long time ago: 'Animals are on Earth to show humans how to live. Once they've done that, they leave.' We could take a few lessons from our animal friends.
You nailed it.
Mine too Love.
Get u a turtle, tortoise, or a bird. Live longer than you will
i had a cat who lived 21 years , I inherited it after my great grandmother died at 104 in 1988 ,, I had it 2 years after she died .
It's so important to share these stories and videos to let people know how wonderful all these animals are.
I agree
YES
I saved a baby possum once. It fell into a window well of a church and mama was no where around. It never bit, was extremely intelligent, and very, very sweet. 💙
rachael wyld stacey they are very gentle...
@@deannekliene2673 Yes, the little girl I found sure was. Initially I was afraid because she was hissing softly like a cat with her mouth open a bit. I soon learned that this only means she's a little irritated and possibly afraid with what's happening, but soft words and gentle hands smoothed out any ruffled feathers so to speak lol
@John Stonik 🤣Dude, that church was a nightmare. Not all churches are bad, but that one was.
@John Stonik I completely understand there!
@John Stonik Don't get me started on Televangelists!🤣
I have a possum that sleeps in my garage. There is a car wash nearby which means rats. I used to see rats in my garage and on my property, but since the possum moved in, they have disappeared. Possum's are awesome!!!
Chris LaPan Why so? Does possum eat rats? Or they are bigger version of rats so that fact scared rats away?
Chris LaPan plus I’m curious that if you gained any extra income recently, because possums is like god of wealth in some Asian culture.
He needs your garage in the winter......they don't do well in the cold.
In fact, measuring the amount of past frostbite experiences is one way they age them.
Possums will kill rats if they can corner them or catch them when they're sleeping although they aren't the most skilled hunter. Also, possums are marsupials.
I've seen opossum kill rats. They are good to keep around.
I had the pleasure of raising three little opossums after their mother was killed by a car. They brought more happiness into my life than you could EVER imagine. They use to wake me up at night walking all over me and licking me in the face. I would get up and give them one of those Circus Peanut candies. You should have seen them enjoy those treats. They would stand on their back legs like a human and hold the peanuts in their front feet and munch away. What a riot! They were the cleanest animals you could EVER own and VERY loving and funny. They all died after about 5 years and I miss them terribly. God bless you little ones.
The Veteran 😍😍😍
Thank you for being so kind 💕 They had a great life thanks to you
They get such a bad rap but they are as clean or cleaner than cats, and are So friendly and lovable!
Do they litter box train?
Did they had fleas cause all possums has fleas or did u get the flea shot
Kricket is such a precious sweetheart. She touches the lives of everyone she meets. A gentle furball 💗💗
shes dead
Barley had the most beautiful eyes. So "love me". Kricket is a sweet, fluffy, silly girl. I never knew possums were so adorable.
She is absolutely beautiful, those eyes are so expressive, truly windows to the soul.
Come on now... it's just a possum.
@@kleber8149 Why "just a possum?" We're all animals sharing the world
VERY CUTE indeed
Ok man, just calm your tits a little, it's just a possum with funky eyes
The thumbnail killed me :D She literally looks like a possum herself.
I LOVE Opossums, they're so sweet, smart, and soft too. God bless you for rescuing those and educating others about them.
So sad they only live 3-5 years? :(
Kricket, "I WUV YOU MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"She just likes to be with me"
And there you have it, folks. The summation of why we have an innate, intimate connection with animals of all size and shapes. We bond because they have no ulterior motives. They just like us, for however we come, because they just do. And when we can just accept that and reciprocate it; there you have it. A bond for life
kricket is dead
I figured thats why young people love dogs so much these days, because people are so mentally ill and terrible but dogs love them anyways
ooor maybe they just like being fed. We don’t really know much about animal motives beyond survival instinct, and it kinda seems like you’re projecting hard onto these animals with acorn sized brains
However, it would be nice if it turns out they can feel the same emotions that we do. Maybe someday we’ll find a way to know.
@@oberonpanopticon- If only there were scientists studying animal behavior and a way to access their research from around the world - a sort of world wide web of information...
@@loki2240 It’d be a lot more helpful if instead of passive aggression, you actually said where to find said research that supports OP’s point.
Excellent job teaching kids about possums....attitudes are formed in childhood.
Possums do not deserve the bad reputation....I bet that if 99% of the people who dislike possums actually raised one their hearts would be changed! They can be so cuddly and childlike. Thank you again The Dodo for another lovely story that brings awareness to the needs of all types of animals.
I brought a possum in from the wild once. He drooled, and hissed at me all day. My mom came home and freaked out, then made me get rid of it. Everyday she came home she saw a possum in our house and would yell at me to get it out. One day she got fed up and told me to stop bringing it inside or else severe punishment. I calmly explained they were all different possums, that I was bringing it from a nest in the backyard, so in fact I had not violated her rule.
She said I should be a lawyer, and to get out.
@Toni Sumblin, Hi Toni, well at least you wouldn't hurt the poor thing. So thank you for having a heart. Some people don't even think twice before hurting them : ( . Very disheartening.
@Adam Nelson You do relize that there is Opossums & Possums. A good example is the virginia opossum but then theres bushtail possums, so the O depends on the type you are talking about because there are 103 speices of Didelphidae and at least one extinct that we know of.
@Toni Sumblin There not rodents their a marsupial.
@@NipponCat 100% true I got my first one 10 years ago. She was blind. I was able to set her brothers & sisters free. My mom & dad hated them but now love them. I know so much about these guys as well now.
I had one that would come every night and eat cat food at my paito door and I would lay in the floor and watch him eat. Everyone said I was crazy because I thought he was the cutest thing ever!!!! Nothing was between us except a peice of glass. He dissapeared after 4 years and I still miss him. I'm no more crazy than that sweet lady helping them!! 😊😊👍
hate to break it to you... but he disappeared over the rainbow bridge because that is their life expectancy
Hi. I just read your comment.that is so sweet.possu.s are great .i have one that visits also and a porccipine.they walk in my yard and visit.i dont go outside when they visit.but they always say hello. Not really but u know what i meen.lolol
Look I'll kkkk
I AGREE. I too feed 4 feral cats & one possum. And I'm happy to do it. I do it because I CARE. No animal that comes to me will ever starve.
I also feed feral cats on my back patio and several opossum have joined them. They come almost every night for some cat food and fresh water. I installed a security camera in that location just so I can see all my visitors. I even get a raccoon from time to time. And then out of the blue my front security camera caught a opossum walking across my front entry way. I think they are adorable!!
This made me cry. Tears of happiness and sorrow for the short lives of these loving animals that most people don’t get a chance to know. This is a special lady who is open to love No matter the package love comes in❤
A very misunderstood animal. Thank you, Lea. I cried when I heard Barley was gone. But he was fortunate indeed to have found you and you gave him the very best life possible. Kricket and the others are blessed. I think that Lea would agree that she is the blessed one.
Kricket is so cute😘 you're such an amazing Mother🙏RIP Barley. Thanks The Dodo for this beautiful video 🙏
udaya Rekha single? i iz shy so finding a gf like this way
I love how goofy looking opossums are, with their googly eyes, wonky ears, big noses and big paws. Like a raccoon’s dorkier cousin 😂. I’ve never understood people’s hatred or disgust towards them. They’re not vicious monsters, or disease ridden pests. They’re just goofy stuffed animals waddling around your yard when you sleep. They’re awesome!
River Amnell
That's a good way to describe them!
I was scared of them at one time until some baby possums lived under my apartment and I totally fell in love with them. They would eat the cat food I left for the outside cats I fed in the neighborhood.
Well, they aren't the most pleasant to look at...
Just be careful as they do bite unless domesticated when they’re tiny ok? Don’t expect to pick a wild one up 👍🙏🏻🙃
Likely because of horror stories of feral possums. I had no idea pet possums existed. I must say Barley had such a cute face.
Their faces...so cute and cuddly!
While we were at the Lake of the Ozarks on a late summer night, we heard rustling and hissing a few feet from our campfire. I wasn't sure what it was, so I started throwing rocks at "whatever it was", to scare it away. Turns out it was a possum, and she crept all the way up to us, despite the fact that we were initially throwing rocks at it. He/she actually wanted company, and laid down beside us. Ever since then, I became fascinated by them. Amazing little creatures
aw, that's really cute.
How's Marty Byrde Enterprises?
That scares the dog out of me.
@@catherinegrace2366 Why do you have a dog in you, you might wanna get that checked out
K Walters Imma call the dog catcher right now
I feel possums get such bad rap.
They do. They are really so useful. They eat bugs. It's EXTREMELY rare they carry rabies and they can look mean but they are more afraid of us than we are of them. I love when they hang in my yard for a night or so(they tend to move around from place to place).
oof I found an injured possum in my backyard and took it to the vet and I was so excited that I had done something good and I waited for days just to know that it was too late.
Frosty Fantrash
You did a good thing. ❤
Honestly they do, they're really interesting animals and should be appreciated. They keep the insect population under control and their digestive system has shifted to being able to eat basically whatever, and they're pouch animals which mean whilst developing the babies grow in the mother's pouch and come out once ready to
Is it rap or rep?

Thanks for being a Possum Ambassador ❤ They are extremely gentle creatures yet many people are afraid of them because of their strange looks.
i think they’re adorable
I had an opossum coming in my house every night eating my cats food and I was afraid of my cat and the opossum getting into a fight ( my cat would of lost) so I started feeding her outside every night so there’s no reason for her to come in. She’s very sweet,comes when called,even comes to my door if I’m running late feeding her.❤️
Really? I think they look sooo fluffy and cute! ❤️ Do they only exist in America?
@@janajacoby3391 The Virginia opossum is the only marsupial native to North America however they are not native to western U.S. They live in south east U.S and Central America.🦡
@@jeanmcginnis9804 Okay! Thank you!😊
Bless his little cross eyed heart, RIP Barley 😥
People have always thought me crazy because I adore possums. This proves me right. They rock!!!!
You're not crazy. Like ME, you're a TRUE animal lover, who loves them ALL. THAT'S what a TRUE animal lover DOES! ☺
God Bless this person for having such a beautiful soul!!!!!!!!!
This is a joy to watch! We have a possum that comes in our back yard from time to time. We keep fresh water and food for whenever he/she decides to come over. Love watching them eat. Climbs our trees sometimes. So adorable!
Those eyes on Barley, absolutely adorable!
Right?...he looked like a character from a disneymovie, just gorgeous
@@lolamoewestside49 I wasn't ready for the hilariousness of your name lol!!!!!
Yes, except the reason his eyes look that way is because he is overweight. The fat has o where else to be stored, ad eventually goes to their face ad encompasses the eyes, causing them optical issues such as blind spots. Hedgehogs & Opossums alike do this, when gaining excessive weight.
Yea...
His/her (*?) EYES and extra clean, fluffy fur look real cool.
But, them Vampire FANGS still 'freak me out' ...a bit ... 😳 !

*somebody, has to be the disciplinarian.... ♡ 😁
I will forever be ashamed for hating possums for no good reason just because I was taught they were "gross".
Such a narrow, close minded view.
@@Deletea So because they're wild and eat "garbage" they're gross? You can befriend wild opossums and raccoons, but I don't recommend it for the animal's safety since many people kill them. They're both intelligent animals that fill a role in nature. I've seen mothers of various species including these do everything they can to try to save a dying baby. Nobody can convince me that animals don't feel grief, fear, happiness, anger and such just as we do. They just can't take time off to do it if they want to survive. I do wildlife rescue and rehab and some of my best experiences have been with animals that people consider worthless.
No, it’s not. It’s natural to not like everything lol.
@@30dayride67 God bless you, my friend... ♡
@@Deletea yes... GOD has created all of those creatures for good purposes.
Just leave them be, if you do not prefer their company.
Amen.
*The Popushie ~
Yea, ... we have racoons and possums that like to hang out around our fruit trees, racoons are usually real careful and slow moving (*at least, the 5 military formation, pack by my house) ... and real cute looking.. BUT, them possums never struck me as CUTE before...
*but, my nephew DRIX,... just digs 'em , for some reason?
*ours are NOT nearly as CUTE looking , as the ones in the videos here.
But, GOD bless them.
They just want to eat and live too.
Good job, my friends.
Possums are really loveable,I've seen them all my life in the country,their really good creatures,please don't kill them
I don't kill them, they r so cute and adorable but the ones that do kill them are my dogs and cats and my cats always bring them to me
I have raccoons and possums that hang out at my cabin I feed them corn , on the side,,
Sure if you want to get bitten by them. Or have them kill your dog or cat or other animals as pets and families. No thanks!!!

You have absolutely changed my whole perspective about possums.
I read comments and many of them say "they don't live too long. I don't want them because of this." The thing is you help them by adopting them. Your feelings don't matter. You help and support for animals is what matters.
Opossums are just the best. I love em.

How about u become like them?
Hugs from Hampton Roads, VA, too!!!
@@rajravenlabine3564 shut up
True story: When I was in high school, I "rescued" an opossum from a local animal group. That is, they had some and one had babies, and I signed up and took one. Built a cool cage for it (big). After a couple of months, came home from school and found it dead, on it's back. Very sad moment. Being a kid, I took it out and tossed it in the garbage can [shrug]. When my dad came home from work, I told him, and he burst out laughing. He said, "Go look in the garbage can and find him." And sure enough, he wasn't there.
And that's how I learned about the origin of the term "playing possum".
I swear it's the truth.
J. Mark Lane your comment made my day 😂😂😂
True story WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I saw a possum crossing the street and I swerved the truck I was driving.......to get a clean kill with the tire........lol jk. It was not a clean kill, i am sure it suffered! Lmao!

Such a beautiful thing that Lea is the possum ambassador, and gives love and care to these helpful little creatures.
I'm SO glad to hear the lady who took care of Barley is helping more Opossums. Barley did a ton to improve the image of Opossums, showing people that they are actually harmless, cute and sweet when not trying to look scary. The negative reputation of Opossums is 100% undeserved and I can't tell you how happy I am to see all the lies, fear and ignorance of people slowly break down into nothing and replaced with love and understanding. Once you see Opossums for what they really are it is impossible to hate them. Thank you internet for opening my eyes and showing me the truth about these wonderful little angels.
I love Opossums, they’re one of my favorites. So precious and misunderstood. They are welcome in my backyard! 🥰

In Honduras we call them tacuazin

In the streets we call them Takuaches, and inside a truck we call them Cuhhh or Edgar Junior.😂😂😂😂

This is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have a beautiful family of possums that eat on my porch every night. I don't want to scare them so I tell my cats that they can look out the window at them but no noise. They are so beyond sweet...little marsupials!!!❤❤❤

Kricket is a very special opossum 🥰
I didn't know they lived for such a short time! I mean - that's kind of understandable in the wild - but I guess I thought they might live up to 8 years or something in captivity. They are so adorable. I wish I could hold Kricket - her fur looks so soft and fluffy. RIP Barley. What a wonderful mom / rescuer!
It takes a special person to take on an animal they know will have such a short life span. What a strong person to do this.
Never, ever should we turn pur back on an animal in need. Love in our hearts is there to give....
@@beastsaver6514 That is so true.
Heart breaking.
I just got rats (another misunderstood animal) and it's something I'm worried about :(
Years ago a young woman that was living with me for a while was out in my back yard. She came bursting through the door screaming, "Oh my God I think I killed this little animal." I said show me what you're talking about. She pointed to the little opossum lying curled up on ther ground. I said to her stand here looking through the door and watch. In about 3 minutes the little guy jerked back into life and ran like hell. She looked as me bewildered.
I said HE was playing possum !!!!! lol

Barley's eyes were so cool
My wife and I just watched this video and we loved it.
Keep up the good work.
God bless you and everything you do.
These animal videos make it clear that all animals would be our friends if we would just stop harming them. Giving them a chance to live with us shows how wonderful they can be. So uplifting to finally understand that these souls are just trying to live their lives and mean us no harm. That's the way we always should be with them. What a great world it would be!
Ive had pet rat's and they're very smart and loveable as well
Stepson had one once, it died (various problems) and I was surprised at how grief-stricken I was over it. I loved that little bugger.
The funny part is they aren't rodents..They are marsupials from the Kangaroo family..They carry their young in their pouch..But I adore rats..I think they are the smartest animals..Unfortunately like Opossums, they also have very short lifespans..
I have too. Right now my daughter has 3 girl rats. Best pets ever. She teaches her own daughter all about them as well...💚💛💙💜🤎

I just moved to an area that has opossums. I was letting my dog out before going to bed when she spots something slinking along the back fence. She bolts towards it before I can grab her. She stops four feet from the intruder and starts to whine. She then closes the distance, picks up the object and lumbers back to me and drops an opossum at my feet. I check the poor girl out to make sure my overly concerned Rottweiler hadn't accidentally killed her then ushered my dog back inside. She sat at the sliding glass door until her new friend got up and moved.
From that night on my Rottweiler and this opossum I've named George have been slowly making a friendship. I've considered getting some mealworms and leaving them in a container for her but I've thought better of it as I live very close to a highway and wouldn't want George or any other critter hurt or killed as they tried to get at the snacks.
Thank you for loving these babies- I’ve rescued many - no legit reason to harm any animal!💜
Beautiful story....
So when I was younger I had a possum in my trash can an every day I went to talk to it an I feed it an hung out with it an I called him Mr.p I loved him true story
thomara petit did you marry it?
That's dope
Haha I got something like that too. My neighbor and I usually leave nuts out for critters like squirrels and rabbits. And often, there's this one huge brown wild rabbit that I call Chunk. Chunk has like no fear of people, because every time I'd go to my car to drive to work, all the other critters would run away... except Chunk. Chunk would stop munching for only a moment, look up at me, and then go right back to munching as if to say, "Oh hey. It's you."
Doesn't really like being touched, but he does hang out for a bit to let me feed him. Still see him every now and then.

I had a pet Opossum and her name was "Talka" She never made a sound, was always very sweet & affectionate. Her fur was SUPER SOFT and she LOVED Green Grapes and Cheese Cubes!... She lived for almost 6yrs until she passed on!.... ❤❤❤
His funeral brought more attention than anything else I’ve ever seen in my area that’s the crazy part about him he was really something special his soul was special wether it’s here or not. Rest easy Rest easy
Possums are funny. This video reminds me of the possums scene in "A Goofy Movie" 😂 !
People think they’re big rats, but they’re actually marsupials like kangaroos.
Thats true
Springtrap DOMESTICATED rats are cute. Wild rats... well there's a reason rats have such a bad rep.
Goo Lagoon yes
They do not look like rats at all. They do not look like kangaroos either.
Her little face and beady eyes flicking tongue!! What a loving creature!!! Who would have thought it?? Possums being great pets that is the lady is kind and gentle a great quality when dealing with an animal! Thanks to this person!!
They're not rodents.
They are marsupials.
Pouch their young, like kangas, pandas.
mostly cats 222: Hi! Pretty sure pandas are offshoots of the bear family, not marsupials. Their babies are small, yes, but there's no pouch for them. Pandas make nests, in dens, like dogs, cats, wolves, and bears. Baby or babies remain in the den nest till they are old enough to walk out on their own.
@@jilliansmith7123 I wonder if they meant to say koalas, and not pandas?
Believe231: you know, what, I bet you're right! I'm so dumb! Thanks for pointing that out. KOALAS!
They're swiss cheese if they get in my shed
human? knowing is required. 'The Purpose of DNA' even if they were rodents, so what? Rodents are ppl too and deserve love. We all deserve to be loved.
Possums are so cute! ^_^
God bless your sweet and loving spirit toward life’s most vulnerable creatures! 🙌🏻😊
I love the way she laughs! So kind, genuine and full of love ♡
What a great heart you have,more people should be like you.what a better world it would be.
Dodo is the balm to my soul after watching the news and politics
You mean the hit of endorphins we crave for after learning the world is irreversibly fucked up :)
Omg, I love them so much !!! I'm so glad you had enough love in your heart to see these sweet little babies for what they really are, and give them a chance! They have so much love to give. People like you make the world a much kinder place....thank you for that! Stay safe, and God bless!
Did you go to rio bravo? Your name looks really familiar to me.
Animals are amazing, we need to take care of them all whenever needed.
She’s beautiful! A lovely, fuzzy, tick-eating angel!!
3-5 years? That's sad...
Right. That would break me everytime.
Ânyà Štár ✨ Very short for such a big creature imo. I can expect it from a little mouse, hamster etc. but thats because their hearts are smaller and have to work faster.
Andy Brandy my dog is 16 and he is still full of energy lol
bhips ahoy 😉👍🏻
Ânyà Štár ✨ rats only live 2-3 years which really sucks :(
Omg.
They're actually cute.
And this gal is a True Animal Person.
Gosh I love that, we need more people like you in this world.
Man seriously...I'm a grown 42 year old metalhead that cries like a baby when I watch Dodo's videos. What does that say about this Headbanger? lol
Tommy Miguel Guerrero Lluberes A lot off good things🤙
Dude im 25 metalhead and also cry at dodo vids XDDD
Metalheads are unironically some of the nicest people ever
Being a sensitive and empathic person is never a bad thing! Be proud of yourself :)
That makes perfect sense. I've always thought a lot of the metal crowd connects with its harshness and abrasiveness because the world seems like a harsh and abrasive place to them. My sister's a black metal devotee and one of the most empathic people I've ever met.
Barley is so precious, what a silly little face I love him. Little Cricket too, she is darling
Unique video and a pure hearted women !
This woman is so special.
