Itโ€™s a ! ๐Ÿพ We have partnered with the Felidae Conservation Fund to place a trail camera around our ranch to capture local wildlife. The is a regular visitor here that is often misunderstood. Incorrectly perceived as โ€œnuisancesโ€ and โ€œdirty,โ€ itโ€™s actually the opposite: Opossums are vital to our for pest control and sanitation. Not only do they eat rodents, snakes, worms, and insects, they also consume rotting produce, garbage, and skeletons from rodents and road kill! Opossums are quite clean animals that groom themselves as regularly as house cats, and are immune to many diseases. They can rarely carry rabies since their body temperature is so low. This docile will usually choose to run away or โ€œplay possumโ€ when threatened. Next time you see this opportunistic , give her space and let her continue her hunting. She may be cleaning up your own backyard!

Thanks to California Wildlife Center for the great opossum information!
