Not a Raccoon!

Not a Raccoon!


Friday, June 5th my husband checked our live trap for a raccoon and was amazed to find a Virginia Opossum waiting patiently to be set free.

He came into the house and told me, but I didn’t believe him. We had no idea they were even Ontario, what a great surprise and experience.

He or she wandered off after my husband propped the cage door open and we stepped far enough away for it to feel safe, I guess.

Have been keeping an eye out ever since as we would love to see it and possibly babies in the future. Amazing.

Also my husband was happy he didn’t have to relocate a Raccoon.
