Surprisingly strong jaws on that possum. They aren't aggressive and not known to bite, but a frightened animal will employ any self-preservation tactics it can, in order to survive. I wouldn't be testing an aroused possum. If one can chew a rat in that manner, then he can inflict a memorable bite.

Yes. Their bite can be brutal and thry get infected like cat bites do because of all the bacteria in their mouths. I've been bit a couple of times by my non-releasable adult male with no depth perception. He came to me to rehab as an infant couldn't be released. My girls were very gentle and were able to take live crickets or meal worms from my fingers without biting me. Such soft and gentle mouths, they love to lick, then rub on you like a cat when they are happy. If your really loved abd extremely lucky they will do the opossum twist for you after the lick, rub session. It's the CUTEST THING EVER! They are super cool animals .

Chris......that was great! Possums sure are strange looking critters. We had 'em when we lived in Oregon. I caught a few in traps, but always managed to let them go....mostly missing a few toes I'm afraid. In High School, a friend and I thought of the perfect senior prank. We went out one night and caught three possums alive and put them in a gunny sack. Next day, we put them in a gym bag and took them into the lunch room where we unzipped the bag, left it under a table, and moved off to watch the fun.....sadly, the principle saw us do it! He walked over before the possums could come out and play, peeked inside, and zipped it up! We got called to the office and chewed out something terrible, threated with being expelled and a slow and painful death if we ever did anything like that again, and all that sort of stuff. On the way out the door, the principle said "Damn it you guys.....why did you let me see this? That would have been great!! But don't do this kind of shit any more!" Ha! He was really a pretty good guy.

Thank you Chris again! This is a baby Possum or a huge rat...I have a huge rat problem in my backyard . I have 15 snap traps two live traps and a Nooski rat trap.

They have more than one type of marsupial.
