A: Feel lucky that you have this unique and one-of-a-kind North American marsupial! Please do not feed them or attempt to get too close because they're wild animals and cannot be tamed or domesticated. Possums get conditioned to nearby homes and developments where they scanvenge for leftover pet food and garbage, but consider them dangerous.
