possums are harmless…baby possums used to come up through my heating vents. we found the hole in the vents where they were getting in. we captured them and gave them to the wildlife preserve people. they open their mouths and hiss very loudly but they won’t bite you…it’s all a big bluff…my grandfather used to kill every one he ever came across and I have loved possums from a very young age because of that.

Cute! I love owls. My favorite is the snowy owl—Too bad they don’t have them in California.
