More like an angry rodent. It's a opossum. A friend of mine called me yesterday and asked if I knew anyone who could trap a opossum for her. She was afraid one had moved into her crawl space. I told her that opossums are tree dwellers, and that it was most likely something else. I gave her the number to a friend of mine who set up some traps and bait under her house.

Turns out it's raccoons, as in, more than one. The snowstorm drove them in. The lesson for her is to keep the foundation vents in good shape, if the critters find a hole, they will seek shelter and set up residence.

My one hillbilly friend would say, only my aunt could cook a decent possum.

I never knew when he was serious.

I suppose if it was a nursing female she might take her young under a house?
