This guy is recovering from minor injuries and is pretty much release size. Moved him to an outdoor pen today, and he demonstrated his "playing dead" skills for me - drool, gaping mouth, glazed eyes, oozing green smelly stuff from the other end, the works! (This guy decided to play dead, but opossums can and will bite - I've handled hundreds of opossums over the years, so I'm comfortable and familiar enough with opossum body language and behavior to do this without gloves, but I don't recommend

They are the best actors. When an opossum faints, they can scare the fiercest of predators. However, their defense mechanism is also a curse. When faced with danger not only do they lay on the ground and expel a putrid smell, but they also are not sure how long they will be in that state.
