Woman on Beach Nearly Gets Attacked by Flock of Aggressive Seagulls - Bing video
Got opossums living in my garage for many years. They get fairly big and are good scavengers. Here in city rat patrol puts poison in alleys and seems opossums 'know' to avoid it and dead rats. I have rarely if ever seen a dead rat. Wonder if opossums eat poisoned rats?I've rescued some Awesome Possums.

I don't know. They used to use chemicals like warfarin aka Coumadin to cause internal hemorrhage or fluoride in rat poisons. Not sure now. Opossums can withstand and recover from many venoms and toxins. I don't have a list, but they sniff out rats and mice as good as rat snakes. They eat them like candy.Got opossums living in my garage for many years. They get fairly big and are good scavengers.
