Bear versus Possum (7/15/2022)

Two instances of a black bear interacting with a possum. Somehow, the bear appears to be intimidated by the possum.

I had no idea bears were THAT limber when it comes to scaling trees………😮

I wonder if Yogi has had a problem with a possum in the past. All the possums in my neighborhood always run away, or freeze.

It's funny how campers like to hang their food in trees to keep bears away from their tent. I imagine many bears have had tree feasts.

FYI: Possums are admittedly the least endearing creatures BUT their main diet consist of ticks. One possum eats on average 5500 larval ticks per week.😮
