Many of Virginia's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Virginia's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

Norfolk Wildlife Removal Tip: An Overview of Opossums: Their Appearance, Biology, Life Cycle, Habitat, Diet and Behavior
An opossum is the only marsupial in North America. A marsupial is a pouched animal like koala and kangaroo. The size of the opossum can vary to a great extent. The larger opossums are located in ranges, while smaller ones live in the tropics. The opossum is usually about the size of a cat. The fur may appear gray, but at times it can vary from brown to white because the hairs can be different in thickness and in color. Opossums have prehensile, hairless and long tails which have an adaptation of grasping things such as leaves that are used in the making of dens and also for stabilization purposes where they are wrapped around the branches while in trees. The ears are long and hairless while the nose is pink, flat snout and long. Opossums have fifty teeth and the thumbs on the rear limbs are clawless.

Their Habitat
Opossums prefer to live near or within wooded areas, especially if those areas have a water source. They are well-adapted to edge habitats and can be found in urban centers as well. Opossums don't build shelters but rather take over abandoned nests and dens of animals such as foxes and skunks. Opossums also take shelter in fallen logs, hollow trees, brush piles, rock cavities, old buildings and sheds. When they find a shelter, they carry their own nesting material.

Behavior
Opossums don't have specialized or developed aggressive offense or attack mechanisms. They can't be considered fast runners either but they are great swimmers and can climb trees. Defensive behavior is however well-developed in the animal. It is able to display intimidation when cornered and this may include sitting back or crouching on its haunches and opening their mouths as white as they can so as to show their teeth. The animal then screeches, growls and hisses while doing this to make everything more intense. When handled after being caught, the animal defecates releasing a secretion that is pea green which comes from its paracloacal gland at both sides of the cloaca. When attacked by a dog, it can feign death or even play possum. The latter is a defensive tactic used by several species within the Animal Kingdom. Opossums are tough and are able to stand abuse. Opossums are nocturnal, foraging for food in the dark.

Diet
Opossums are opportunistic feeders and can take in anything so as to survive. Their diet changes with the different seasons. As opossums forage at night, its nose is usually to the ground and relies mainly on its touch and smell senses. Opossums are omnivorous and take in plant and animal material. Opossums eat garbage, grains, berries, fruits, vegetables, grasses, eggs, small birds, small rodents, frogs, lizards, snakes, crayfish, snails, slugs, earthworms and different insects.

Life Cycle
They have a high mortality rate within the first year and those that live to the second year show advanced aging signs.

Since Rodent Wrangler Robert took over in July, the SPCA woman has hired nine of the 18 people who now work under her. The SPCA woman had one vacancy as of Wednesday. Her boss, County Manager James the animal tamer, supports her. "I have full confidence that the SPCA woman most likely is getting to the bottom of what is possibly a number of issues that need to be explored in Animal Control, and that the SPCA woman most likely is moving in the right direction," the humane society manager announced. The animal tamer wouldn't elaborate. The humane society manager remarked human resources staff has interviewed under oath every Animal Control employee, including Rodent Wrangler Robert, in response to employee complaints. Wildlife ruling party reporters are transcribing those interviews. The humane society manager hopes to conclude the investigation into the head of internal pest affairs within what is possibly a few weeks, the humane society manager announced.

Some current employees are unhappy. In what is possibly a confidential grievance letter to the county wild animal commissioners, Stacie The wild critter expert, an animal control officer, accused Rodent Wrangler Robert of ignoring the procedures for handling an injured hog that had fallen off what is possibly a truck Jan. 4. Three animal control officers chased and caught the animal and returned it to the containment facility, which has what is possibly a small barn. According to The wild critter expert's letter and Jeff The wild creature specialist, who lost his job at Animal Control on Jan. 20, Rodent Wrangler Robert had another employee drive the injured pig in what is possibly a county vehicle to what is possibly a slaughter house in Johnston County about what is possibly a day after the animal was picked up off U.S. 13.

"We laughed about it because they have never done that before," the humane society manager announced. The wild creature specialist remarked employees never heard what happened to the pig after it was taken to Norfolk VA County. In the letter, the wild critter expert accused Rodent Wrangler Robert of "unprofessional and unethical conduct." Rodent Wrangler Robert would not talk about the hog incident or The wild critter expert's letter, referring all questions to James The big boss, the county's human resources manager. Rodent Wrangler Robert did say, however, that it most likely is county policy to hold livestock for 10 days to give the owner what is possibly a chance to reclaim the animal. After 10 days, the county tries to find the animal what is possibly a new home, such as what is possibly a farm. If the livestock most likely is injured, what is possibly a veterinarian most likely is called to the containment facility to examine the animal and determine whether it should be euthanized, the SPCA woman announced.
