Oppossum I caught and released

[fishman15]

These are some photographs of an oppossum I caught in my back yard. I took some pictures and released him in a better area.

Opossums are like dinosaurs. They're gross and opportunistic. At least you set it free somewhere else and it won't bother your outside animals, if you have any.

Poor thing looks like it has some kind of snout injury.
Probably got in a fight with a dog or something.
I think they're pretty cool creatures, thanks for the pics.

I don't know, I think my dog might take one look at that and high tail it outta there. That thing is scary, it reminds me of something you'd see in a horror movie.

a couple winters ago, I had the cutest little solid-white opossum living in my yard (and a pair of raccoons!). I caught it sniffing around trash bags I had placed on the porch instead of taking straight to the curb, so I started feeding it the dog food I bought for the raccoons. I couldn't believe how something so tiny could make such loud crunching noises, lol. he went away after san antonio started using these big ol' trash bins that they gave everyone and there was never any bagged trash to get into any more, though

Ewwww But the poor thing looked scared (and gross)
Good for you for helping him.
