They will not release him back into the wild, because he has only one eye. So he is their educational animal.
He politely ate a bit of dinner.
After his snack, it was time for a yawn and a nap. MY, what 50 sharp teeth you have. But really, possums are very gentle. They prefer to be left alone and not fight. Maybe because their life span is only 2 to 4 years. When faced with violence, they pretend to be dead.
“A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a
temper-fire.”
Proverbs 15

He has an interesting face. The nose looks almost hog like.There is a cuteness about him though.
Yes, their teeth! Beautiful, aren't they? They are certainly equipped to defend themselves. We have many possums and opossums on our land and I love each one. Lovingly~ Andrea xxx
Such a short life span for this cute animal! I thought it was a baby hog!
That is a pretty intimidating looking yawn for a gentle creature :) I see a lot of these and sadly too many of them are dead on the side of the road
