As mentioned in previous posts, for several years back in the late 1970, and 80's I did wildlife rehab and release. Our program began with Birds of Prey and then eventually moved in the direction of small mammals. Some of those were Opossums and many would say, what are they worth...but I am here to vouch for the fact they can be quite great little chaps.
When you hold a handful of pinkies in your hand and they are so helpless, you tend to grow fond of them and you desire them to thrive and with tender care, they mostly will manage to do just that. They can be remarkably sweet, they are shy, they only show their teeth when they feel threatened and will run in the opposite direction to get away...fast.
When you view this, it shall have been posted and saved to share while I am away. Hope everyone is doing well. I shall be missing you until my return the first week in October~

Below is the yearling from last season~
I have wondered if this young yearling doe may be the momma of the fawn that I cared for...
Gorgeous shots. I think all critters have a place nasty or nice.
ReplyDeleteadorable critters. love all the fence shots, too.
