Remember these?
Possum tracks.
So I set up my scouting camera in the vicinity and this is what I saw.
A Virginia Opossum
You may notice that the camera site is baited with a tomato.
"Possums" are Nature's garbage men.
They will eat many things,
including insects, grasses, snails & slugs, rodents,
rotting/overripe fruits & veggies, and carrion.
rotting/overripe fruits & veggies, and carrion.
They are also have a very short life span for a mammal of their size, averaging 1-2 years.
They have 50 teeth, more than any other North American land mammal.
And they will play "possum", pretending to be dead, if attacked.
