No ones coming lol
Poor baby leave him be …he won’t hurt you .
opossums r important!!!! they eat insects and ticks…just it be if this is the worst thing that happens in someones life…ur blessed…leave it be! they will not hurt you geez
They are harmless!! Wtf !!
They are actually very docile animals and are more afraid of humans
Nyte Wynd I thought so too, there’s a baby one that comes into my yard day & night; drives my dog nuts from inside the house!
Corinne Barbato-Sabo if its 7-8 inches long to tail its prob on its own.I have picked them up they either hiss or show teeth but i have never been bitten
People are fucking dumb holy shit. They cannot carry rabies
Leave the thing along! They eat their weight in ticks. They are not vicious. If it’s out in the daytime, it’s because it’s hungry, not rabid! They are immune to rabies. They’re harmless. I’m fostering three in my living room!
These three were the survivors of a Mama that was hit by a car. The other siblings were deceased when I got on scene. ????
Bless you. You’re a good, kind person.
So??
Jesus christ this town. Just let the damn thing runaway you idiot
yup just had a Big one in my yard
Update: It was a baby Opossum and the caller now has it in a box with a blanket.
well maybe you should have made that fact more clear…duh
It says “Update” which means he had just gotten that information, which in turn means he didn’t have that information when he posted originally, which means he couldn’t have made that fact more clear when he originally posted. Is that clear enough for you?…Duh
Denise- they’ve taken to calling the police for wild animals now ???? boredom has set in
Michael Sardella
Lol 1. They don’t get rabies. 2. They eat ticks! Sooo what’s the issue?
Denise Desiree Capizzo Stewart and not threatening at all
Dale Palladino exactly
I call the big one Bitey
better than a crackhead and they eat ticks and don’t rob your car
If it is 7 to 8 inches, from nose to the base of its tail, it is supposed to be on it own.
Omg let it do it’s thing
Good call, the possum wasn’t wearing a mask.
Love our Police Officers in Barnegat ❤????❤????
Mama BusterrThere is probably a dam close by in the mom must have been hit by a car or something for the young in to come out of fear nesting spot this probably moreHappened to me with raccoons and mother actually Brown than are Built-in cool and the babies were out all over the yard 4 of them one male and 3 female Xe and we turned them over to the animal control popcorn Talk zoo and they took them in and did whatever they did with themThough a healthy little buggers cutest little things
A little opossum tidbit, the babies ride on the mother. When the babies are too big to hold on anymore, they are officially weaned. No, the mother does not stay around. They wander off and that’s it. The baby is on its own. If it’s 7-8 inches from nose to the rear end and not injured, leave it be.
Remember Opossums do not nest. Their babies are in the pouch until they’re too large to remain there. They are is North American’s only marsupial.
I’m confused why isn’t wildlife allowed to be in someone’s driveway I have squirrels in my yard ????
<3 Yard Angel <3
Its an animal Karen thats what they do…
They hang out with my outdoor cats, they coexist and kill every tick in sight. Harmless, beautiful, docile creatures!!
I’d like to have one (an opossum) placed in my yard to keep my yard safe and clean from all the gross stuff< like the dead sparrow, which the opossum would of eaten. They’re little vacuums and garbage men.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why would you call police for this bunch of idiots
My area is quite rural. I had a piece of plywood leaning up against the tree next to my garage. My neighbor stopped by and asked me if I was going to move the piece of plywood. I politely told her that I was cleaning up and I will move it when I move it. Her concern was that there was a fox sitting under the leaning piece of plywood.
I told her “wild life happens” and walked away.
To all of you people who say she should have left the animal alone and let it run away, she saw that it was a baby and didn’t know if it needed help or not, so she did the humane thing. Some people just don’t give a crap about animals but I’m an animal person, as she probably is also, and would have done the same thing. If you think that’s wrong, or stupid, or whatever, then so be it.
Hope it is ok! These are great to have around
