Opossums are often misunderstood
but play a vital role in healthy ecosystems.
They eat thousands of ticks each week,
reducing the spread of tick-borne diseases.
They also feed on carrion and waste,
helping to naturally clean their environment.
Unlike many mammals, opossums are highly resistant to rabies.
They’re gentle, beneficial, and essential to ecological balance.
By leaving them unharmed,
you’re protecting nature’s cleanup crew. 🌿🐾
