text: In order to mark territories, possums release scent from their glands on their chest onto tree branches.
text: Once you have caught the animal in the trap, make sure you wear clothing with long sleeves and thick gloves when dealing with the cage, and where possible it is best to put a blanket over the cage as this not only calms the animal down, but also helps to prevent any scratches if the opossum lashes out, and also reduces the spread of any odor if the opossum releases the scent from its anal glands, which is a self defense mechanism.
