There are people who have unusual pets, like snakes, spiders, or other wild animals. So what would you say about opossums as pets? Okay, maybe if your initial feeling was “eww,” you’ll change your mind after seeing the cute creatures in the photos that follow.
There is an Instagram account under the name of itsmesesame that saves and rehabilitates opossums and publishes their progress. The pictures are beautiful and reveal a whole new side to these creatures that are often viewed as “pests”.
“Our opossums are rescue animals, we always release them back into the wild, except when they cannot survive in the wild. Two of mine are losing their tails and that’s why they can’t be released and they love me as ambassadors for wildlife. To inspire everyone to love and care for wildlife and the land,” said the owner Ally Burgueires to BoredPanda.
