Orangutan launches possum out of enclosure at zoo — as horrified visitors scream

LOLOL!
That is correct. They kill chickens.
Our previous neighbor, an 87 year old woman, found one in her garage and beat it to death with a baseball bat. The mess was spectacular. .
I never worried about her after that . . .
"Que?"
“Fetchez la vache!”
What is a head shaker is animal rights folks getting all a flutter over it. Nature can be very, very cruel. Timothy Treadwell found out.
Assign that ape to border patrol.
I have shot a number of possums trying to get into my chicken coop.
I bet the possum screamed too.
I really hate it when they crawl into the chicken pen and eat the hens head off on the roost. They only do it once, though.
Hit repeat right as the people scream and it get’s pretty funny.
RIP little opossum.
Nature ain’t nice.
It’s one of those “Circle of Life” kind of things.
Some friends of mine spotted a possum laying beside the road in front of their house. It was playing possum.
Over the next couple of weeks it got better and better at playing possum. It figured out how to get very flat and how to emit a disgusting smell. It also figured out how to excrete body fluids.
Eventually the possum was gone. Apparently it got tired of playing possum. So we all had a big Possum Going Away Party.
I still prefer squirrel launching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG9n7ymR4z4
But having watched a fellow in a kayak shoot black swans on Lake Taupo with a rifle mounted on forward facing tripod (I was with a friend on his boat trolling for trout) I'm not surprised there are Kiwis who hunt possums. Not much sport, but neither was shooting big resting black swans on a beautiful caldera lake.
Aussie possums have bushy tails.
I’ve eaten possum, but not in stew. Kinda greasy... I see some Southerners on here - they know possum are vermin. No limit.
BINGO!
Not if you raise chickens. Possums and Raccoons are both enemies. I hate them both.
Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me to be on or off . And ping me is you see articles of interest.
When they came after organutans who tossed possums I didn’t say anything because I’m not an orangutan...
