Meet Mila,
A sweet little girl who was found as a baby.
So many folks assume opossums are aggressive or risky, but the reality couldn’t be further from that idea. They’re mellow, gentle, and surprisingly tender-natured. Wildlife caregivers often say they’re among the simplest wild animals to help because they almost never bite or lash out.
Let’s keep busting the myths and give some well-earned appreciation to these often-misunderstood little warriors. Here are some incredible facts you may not have heard about opossums:
🌿 They’re not fighters. Even when scared, they don’t attack—instead, they freeze or “play dead” hoping trouble fades away.
🦠 Rabies? Nearly impossible. Their naturally low body temperature makes it extremely hard for the virus to survive.
🪳 They’re tick-destroying powerhouses. A single opossum can wipe out around 4,000 ticks in a week, helping reduce Lyme disease risks without us even noticing.
🌻 They don’t damage homes or yards. If one slips into your garage, simply guide it out and remove food sources—it’ll move along peacefully.
🕰️ They’re ancient survivors. These remarkable animals have been around for more than 70 million years.
🚮 They tidy up nature. By eating roadkill and leftover waste, they help keep the environment cleaner.
🐨 They’re America’s only native marsupial. A tiny bit of Aussie-style uniqueness right here at home.
🐞 They’re garden guardians. They munch on pests like slugs and beetles while leaving your plants completely untouched.
🐍 They’re resistant to venom. Their biology is helping researchers develop improved antivenoms for people.
🧠 They’re cleverer than you think. Research shows they can outperform many household pets in tasks involving memory and food tracking.
So when you spot one shuffling quietly through the night, remember—opossums aren’t nuisances. They’re helpers. They’re survivors.
Let’s share the truth and give these gentle, hardworking creatures the respect they truly deserve. 💚

Bucky is relocated!!!! Very thankful for Jonathan Lackey and Nick Earnst, without them we would not have been able to relocate him. Special thanks to Glen, Michal, and Bayli for allowing us to use your trailer to transport him. He is now safe and happy at Vaughn Deer Farm. It takes a village and we appreciate everyone's help and patience.
