Don't harm opossums! They’re harmless and actually really helpful. They keep pests under control by eating ticks, roaches, rats, and scorpions, clean up dead animals, and even help spread seeds. Basically, they’re nature’s cleanup crew

It’s also very very rare for them to get rabies due to their low body temp. A great animal to have around!

Opossums don’t “play dead” on purpose it’s an involuntary fear response. They can stay motionless for hours, fooling predators, while also helping ecosystems by eating ticks, insects, rodents, and even some snakes. Nature’s little survival experts.

Opossums are cool animals and good for the environment and also eat a poisonous snake 🐍

They're very beneficial and play an important part. 😊

Nature's night shift Sanitation Department deserves a raise. How much do they charge per tick?

I have ground cameras specifically to see when they're outside to give them food. Even the stray cats keep an eye out for them while they're eating.

I was walking in the woods once and saw a possum with the babies hanging on. I just wanted to follow behind and make sure none of the babies fell off! I don’t know why anyone would hurt possums. They’re so sweet.

Be careful around ticks If you see a tick raising its arms and moving them around it’s called ‘questing’ and he’s trying to detect you. Once he does, he’s like a heat seeking missile and runs towards you “Ticks are actually disgusting. They do this thing called questing where he reaches out” Ticks really don’t serve much of a purpose outside of parasitizing hosts. Ticks weaken or reduce populations of animals and this helps prevent overpopulation They also feed on larger animals and then other animals feed on them but research shows if they were to disappear it wouldn’t cause any kind of ecosystem collapse. They’re just parasites and pets

Often misunderstood and dismissed as ugly, ominous, or pests, vultures are in fact one of the most vital species on our planet. They are nature’s clean-up crew, keeping ecosystems, wildlife, and even humans safe from deadly diseases ♻️❗ 🦅 Arojinle, researcher, broadcast journalist, and Wild Africa ambassador, explains that a lack of knowledge about these birds is the reason many people don’t understand their importance. Vultures are apex scavengers that feast on rotting carcasses in large numbers. Their powerful stomach acids and specialized digestive systems destroy harmful bacteria and microorganisms, preventing disease outbreaks and recycling vital nutrients back into the environment. We shouldn’t kill vultures, we need them! Yet despite their importance, African vulture populations have plummeted by 80–97% in just 50 years. ⚠️ If we lose them, we lose one of nature’s most effective defenses against the spread of disease. On #WorldVultureDay this Saturday, let’s change the way we see these birds. They don’t deserve fear—they deserve protection. 💚 You can help by protecting vulture habitats, reporting wildlife crime, and saying NO to illegal bushmeat. Because once they’re gone, they’re gone. #WildAfrica #VultureDay #Arojinle #BirdlifeConservation

This Investigative Journalist Was Threatened by the Russian Mafia. “So they get the medical beneficiary numbers of these people, and then they start enrolling them into hospice. And once someone’s enrolled into hospice, a lot of people in California don’t even know they’re enrolled until they go to the doctor and need a surgery or an appointment, and they’re told, ‘We can’t help you—you’re enrolled in hospice.’ So basically their identity is stolen, somebody puts them in the hospice program, and now they can’t get treatment."

My pigs don’t drink water from the ground. I installed nipple drinkers, and they quickly learned how to use them, so they always have access to clean, fresh water. So tell me, how exactly are they supposed to get worms if they’re raised properly? Give pigs a clean environment, and they’ll show you just how neat they can be. People love saying pigs eat rubbish, but I’ve seen chickens, fish, dogs, and even other animals eat rubbish or poop too. Even humans, when forced to live in poor conditions, can become unkempt and end up eating whatever they can find. The problem isn’t the pig…it’s the environment and how it’s raised. Una don stigmatize pigs too much.

Guyzee behold two live hedgehogs captured 🦔🦔 These small,spiky animals might look quiet but they’re full of surprises. Hedgehogs are covered in thousands of sharp spines, which they use for defense. When it feels threatened, it doesn’t run it simply rolls into a tight ball, turning into a living pin cushion that most predators avoid. They are mostly nocturnal, meaning they come out at night to hunt for food like insects,worms, and small creatures.That makes them very useful in nature they help control pests.Despite their tough look,they are actually calm and harmless animals unless disturbed. what do you call this animal in your language?

🚨 THEY’RE LYING TO YOU — FLOCK ISN’T LOSING, THEY’RE IN OVER 6,000 CITIES AND STILL EXPANDING They’re trying to convince everyone that Flock is in trouble because a few towns voted against the cameras. But look at what’s actually happening. Even in towns where almost 100% of residents spoke out against Flock, city councils still found ways to keep the system or delay real action. Flock is already in over 6,000 cities... basically most of the country. They’re putting cameras near playgrounds and trails where there are no cars, just kids. And when people try to cover or remove them, police show up fast. Flock isn’t shrinking. They’re getting bolder. What do you think is really going on with these surveillance cameras?

🚨 HIKER ACCIDENTALLY SCARES WILD OPOSSUM SO BAD IT “DIES” IN HIS HANDS He didn’t tranquilize it. Didn’t trap it. Didn’t hurt it. The opossum literally shut down on the trail - an involuntary fear response where they pass out and play dead. “They don’t choose to play possum. They just pass out from fear.” What happens next surprises everyone: • Over 50 teeth - but almost never bites • Eats up to 5,000 ticks a year • Rarely carries rabies due to low body temp • Cleaner than most people’s pets • Has opposable thumbs and a prehensile tail • More closely related to a kangaroo than a rat Ugly? Maybe. But these things quietly protect humans more than we realize. So what are opossums really - disgusting pests… or nature’s most misunderstood MVPs?

If Tate was actually guilty, the system would’ve protected him, blackmailed him into silence, and weaponized his massive influence. But they can’t control him, so they’re trying to destroy him instead. That’s why the UK government is terrified of his message to young men. Most anon accounts parroting the narrative don’t even have freedom of thought, they’re programmed by the matrix. #freethetates

Trump is playing political games and is willing to let kids go hungry. He's planning to hold back SNAP benefits on November 1, even though he's got the money and the power to send them out. If they don't send the funds, we'll see them in court. Help us spread the word and keep the pressure up!

thank you to the people who made pentagon’s stage possible💙 🦁 said that this time tbh, there were really a lot of people they’re thankful for. Since there are multiple companies involved, they needed a company to lead, a company to organize things, and cooperation from the other companies. They were also in a situation where they needed a lot of help, and Cube gladly allowed them to use the name, and SNS—bc realistically now, ptg doesn’t have a department in charge anymore at Cube. So in a situation where there are no resources allocated for them. The only space they can show to the fans is only through PENTAGON’s SNS. For example, ptg’s YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter… there wasn’t anyone managing those accounts, but they gave IDs to another team’s department and they uploaded things, and even studied ptg’s style of posting. WithUs and Cube also provided them practice rooms. Cube’s video team also filmed and edited things for them, even if it’s not actually their role. They have teams they are in charge of. But the fact that they helped ptg like this, they’re really very thankful. WithUs management team also worked very hard. They communicated between Hanteo’s and Cube’s side, organized things, made announcements, sent notices to various company representatives, and gathered opinions. Which actually isn’t also their job either. So they’re really very thankful that they worked so hard. And the Naked Management team, and even Cube’s management team, also came to help, so there was a lot of help from a lot of people. It became possible like that… so they’re so thankful. He said everyone did it out of affection for PENTAGON. Bc the fact that staff from each company organized things like this, they’re so thankful. So he is taking this opportunity, once again, thank you to them. *may contain inaccuracies

FOUND A MUCH BETTER WAY TO TRACK FOMO TRADERS I don't care who has the biggest PNL on FOMO. I care who actually wins. This terminal shows the top traders and their hit rates instantly. No need to open 20 profiles to compare people manually. You know who is worth watching in seconds. Then you can open their recent trades, see what they’re buying and track the names that keep showing up. Basically turns FOMO into one clean trader dashboard.

People think Aboriginal land is being given back—but it’s not that simple. Sure, the government, billionaires, and even overseas investors might be involved in the handover, but what they’re really doing is using us. They return the land with one hand, then take control with the other—imposing restrictions, regulations, and so-called ‘management plans’ that dictate what even Aboriginal people can and can’t do on their own Country. They hide it behind words like “conservation” or “heritage protection,” but what they’re really doing is locking us out while unlocking the door for luxury resorts, mining interests, and tourism developments. They dress it up as giving back, but they’re taking the best parts—our prime land—for their own gain. That’s the truth people need to see.
