Wild animals we adore

[tailee17]

This is a possum .

I see alot of those too. They’re either adorable or terrifying. No in between.

Where I live I’ve been told they eat ticks / hundreds a day. They also really like cat food.

[Dirk]

Never seen one of those either, I now know!

Edit: could we teach them to eat spotted lantern flies?

This really creeped me out the first time I saw it(in the dark), until I realized what it was. I’ve been trying to find the picture I have(had?) from that night, but can’t. Since it fits the conversation, I’m gonna share this bc
@Dirk @tailee17

*Not my photo(better than mine), but taken somewhat near me

Fun fact: They’re North America’s only marsupial, and they’re resistant to rabies

And moonlight as a school bus.

They saw me before I saw them on my morning walk last weekend!!! Beautiful!

This beauty stayed put while I walked by…we locked eyes for a bit too and I saw a tail wag

Baby desert spiny on the side of my house. Watching him pick off any bugs that try to creep by him.
Must’ve dropped his tail at some point. I see this guy every few days, usually in my greenhouse.

Think its him, at least. Unless there’s tons of babies running around sans-tail.
