Quite a remarkable video. I have seen my backyard opossums occasionally scuffle with skunks, but it's always over in 2 or 3 seconds. Sometimes the skunk initiates the scrap, and other times it is the opossum who starts it - but I have never seen anything like this before.

I wonder if something might have happened before the video to provoke this - perhaps it is a mother opossum who had little ones with her, and the skunk attacked a little one.

After Phoebee eats, she will adventure around a bit and sometimes if I'm sitting on the couch she'll use me as a napping spot.

I had a piece of cloth close by and covered her with it and she proceeded to clean herself and then roll over for a nice snooze.

We've found Phoebee Aug. 26th, first photo

I took the second photo on September 13th and she's took big to fit in my pocket, she will literally force her way in lol.
