Description
Getting up close and personal with a young possum that was caught eating our cat food. Possums are slow and stupid so it's ok to handle them because they're too slow and stupid to fight back properly. Just hold the tail and don't get too close to the mouth. Always wash your hands afterwards. Noteable in this photograph are the animal's extremely sharp teeth and even sharper temper, growling a low growl straight from the gut and scratching up the wood post.Related content

*blinkblink* Opossums are not "Slow" and "Stupid" e.e
They don't have a "Sharp temper" either. They growl and hiss as their natural defense to ward off predators.

Great photo...I've never been able to get close enough to one to do that (they always run off into the bushes whenever I see them)!
