Back when we lived at our old house when Callie was much much younger there was one in our back yard it was showing it’s teeth and hissing certainly looks scary . Callie knew not to get to close and just circled it. I finally got her inside without issue. They are definitely not the most attractive animal lol. |
Cody ended up in a corner with it, there was no way for this animal to escape, any animal that's cornered, that's about to be killed will fight for its life. Had I not gotten Cody's attention and he let it go, he surely would have killed it, he was crazed. I believe he thought it was a squirrel, they torment him, if he ever caught one I do believe he would skin it. Because Opossums are slow moving animals is the reason Cody caught it.
