Re: What is this??

Does it look like a giant rat with big teeth?

It could be an opossum...they never move when you're right there.

They are the nasty slimest Animals ever!!! They look like they have Greasy hair. They have long skinny tails! If you see them dead, do not touch it because they play "possum"

omg! I'm petrified of these things because of that! Years ago me and my girlfriend saw one on the front lawn. We thought her dog had killed it. We slowly tip-toed up to it (still thinking the thing is most definately dead) and we put our face pretty damn close and all of a sudden this thing popped its head up with these huge red beady eyes and hissed Chat Icon Chat Icon needless to say, we RAN!

YES! It's an opossum, we have them near me in NJ. Had one in my garbage can and one in my garage.

There was one that used to hide in Danielle's bushes at her parents house - we saw it all the time at night.

Well one day in december - right before we moved. I had to pick it up with a shovel and put it in a garbage bag. He must of gotten hit by a car and died on our lawn....Ugly, heavy little sucka

I, uh,.........ran one over when I was cutting thru Eisenhower Park at nite. My friends were all drunk in the car and I couldnt stop or slow down as he Ran in front of my car. As we heard "thump, thump" we looked back to see him walk away!

Now I am known as the POSSOM KILLER!

They are so gross. I see them late at night walking around the streets - especially near the sewers...along with racoons.

Can you believe when I opened the back door an HOUR later, he was STILL sitting in the same spot on the fence??? Of course when DH got home a half hour after that he was gone -- glad I got pics. of the sucka.

Ewww they look nasty on the web sites. Hope he is gone forever!
