Couple rescues opossum struggling to stay afloat in lake

1. Seeing his or her tiny hand clinging to that red pillow as he lay resting in your boat just brought tears to my eyes ? All of God's creatures deserve compassion and help when in need–that includes the lowly opossum. They are quite misunderstood and are often abused bc of that. It is loving acts of kindness like yours that help to restore our Faith in humanity. I know you'll be blessed for being a blessing ?

   Side Note on Opossums:
   Most people don't realize how important they are for controlling the tick population–they can eat up to 5,000 ticks in 1 season alone!!! Sound gross? Sure, but it's not half as gross as having a tick bite you, potentially transmitting tick-borne disease & illness ? They also consume other "less desirables" like roaches, rats/ rodents & other creepy crawly things that I'd personally rather not have inside of my home.

   Their only form of self-defense or protection is playing dead ("playing possum") or hissing while showing a mouth full of teeth. They don't carry Rabies, they very rarely bite & they'll run away without harming a thing if given the chance to do so.
