That's not an aggresive noise, they make that "smack" sound when they call another opossum, normally the mother to her youngs. When they feel threaten they hiss, and if they are very scared they faint. Opossums are not aggresive.
Everything can be taught along with sounds. While names and words can stick certain sounds really grab their attention. Clicks and lip smacks are so ubiquidous that we use them without thinking and it can become that dinner call. I will call "possum *click click" and reactions gauge from passive ignorance, looking on, or changing course and zeroing in on the location. I involve their name to help but with crowds language can become confusing so eye contact and motion brings a bit more certainty. I bend over with a food bowl now and tap it which one possum recognizes as part of routine events. Theyre all capable of learning a pattern. Its troublesome to seperate food from how and why you communicate to foster a more interesting bond with other animals. That said I found raccoons very easy to bond with and of course possums follow vehind them in time.
Adorable and useful. It's a shame that the opossums & possums have gotten a very unfair and unnecessary negative reputation when, in fact, they do more good than any harm they have been blamed for. They CANNOT transmit or even carry rabies, and they eat their weight in ticks and other insects.
Este animalzinho só faz bem ao homem, pois come insetos, cobras, ratos, lacraias, escorpiões etc. Além de ser um mamífero da família do canguru, ele é um ser bonitinho .
What's up with the overbite. I never seen one with visible fangs like that unless they hiss. I have one that visits nightly for food and makes all kinds of noise until I come out and give him dog food or something leftover I ate. Then he hisses and goes about his night. I think we may be friends now.
its gotta be a male with those snaggletooth fangs. they click like that when they want to mate. omg that face! I love ' possums. but watch out, while they may not be aggressive they occasionally give heat of the moment love bites and those teeth are sharp.
He’s got a really good point
I agree with you.
lol
yeah
★So true ★

Thanks for the info,they are cool animals and fun to watch in evening when they search for food.
I think they make it when they're in heat too

"Excuse me, sir, Do you have time to tell me why the Goblin turned on the stove?"
He makes the same noise as Winnie the Pooh in his breakfast song. Opossums are the greatest little babies ever
"Dont smack your gums at me"

What’s with carnivorous/omnivorous marsupials and exposed fangs when the mouth is shut?
Its normal
You see her fangs when her mouth s open and you see 2 teeth from the male-poss when his mouth is closed
They are so cute
So cute
