As a self-defense mechanism, opossums will sometimes play dead, but this one was ready to throw down!  Watch until the end… Thank you, Damon Lane from Chittenden County, for sharing this awesome video footage with us 癩 | Protect Our Wildlife Vermont | Facebook

"under the shed cam" opossum Fun Fact: Opossums CAN'T get rabies, their body temperature is too low for the virus to survive like it does in other mammals, such as raccoons and bats. If you see an opossum in defense mode, such as hissing, drooling, or swaying, don’t assume it’s rabid. These are bluff behaviors used to outsmart potential predators. #undertheshed | Critter Cam
