The are SOOOOOO harmless!!! Slow moving cute little waddle. I love them. I raised 5 babies I found with their roadkilled mother once. There is nothing mean or evil about them. Sure they hiss...they are scared and know they can't out run anything. But they won't attack you unless you are rotting roadkill or a bowl of catfood LOL. I have caught a few adults by surprising them...when scared, they just roll over and play dead. Then you can just pick them up by the scruff and the tail...nothing to it and while all of them have hissed, none have ever even tried to bite me. There is only one known case of an opossum supposedly testing positive for rabies...I wonder though if this was an actual test or just an assumption that a sick opossum had rabies...who knows? They do stink though and if you ever pick one up, it takes a lot of scrubbing and soap to get the smell off.
