It's just one of the joys of living in the wild!
Some people find this North American marsupial to be repulsive, but we've come to really appreciate and enjoy them. This one was crawling around behind our poultry pens tonight, so I decided to capture her. That involved jumping a fence, chasing her up a tree, and then grabbing her tail. Once I stopped he ascent, I was able to grasp her neck to prevent her from biting me. I believe that this is the biggest opossum I've ever caught bare-handed, and she's an impressive specimen. I think I'll relocate her tomorrow to help keep our chickens and ducks safe, but at least she'll live to see another day.... or to enjoy another night. Have you ever caught one of these? Do you think they are cute?
