Opossums are actually simply called Possums, which is probably what you know them by.
Opossums are ONLY native to North America and they are the ONLY marsupials that are native in North America. Opossums are like the Australian native marsupial, the Kangaroo: (females that carry their young in their pouch). Possums are nocturnal animals that are rarely seen in the day time. They are known for their amusing habit of playing dead when they feel threatened.

Opossums feed on insects, grass, small mammals, fish, and dead animals. But, most importantly they are most beneficial than they are given credit for.

They present very little problem when in presence of the public. They become a problem when they are trapped and can't get out and when they invade homes, basements and other buildings.

Remember, opossums rarely bite or attack humans unless they are provoked and almost never become infected with rabies. They of course because they are in the wild and not care of animal doctors or are home pets, they carry parasites like ticks and fleas. That is what may spread the diseases and that is why if they come in too close to a home or a building they must be removed.

The simple solution of the possum problem is trapping them (they don't make it hard to catch them) and preventing them from getting back. Opossums are like any other wild animal; they shouldn't be trapped by a non-professional wild life handler and or scared because they will defend themselves.
