Since we now have five security cameras, not for humans, but critters, I figured I might start sharing some of them here and it would be nice if they had their own little room here at the cathouse diary.
So, here we are. This is a video I took earlier this year, with an opossum and a coyote. After viewing this video, I did some research and when threatened, opossums will play dead. Of course, most of us already know that from that saying "playing 'possom'.
But what I didn't know was that they also release a foul smell from their anal glands, a smell of death.
Watch the video...
Spoiler: the opossum lives.
