An Opossum’s Uprising: Facing Employer Exploitation and Survival Strategies in the Wild

In a hypothetical scenario where an opossum is exploited by its employer, it has several options to show its resistance. If the opossum chooses to stand up for itself, it first shows its seriousness by baring its teeth, ruffling its fur, and hissing loudly. However, if these tactics don’t work, the opossum may resort to drooling profusely and emitting an unpleasant smell. In extreme cases, the opossum may play dead by lying on the ground and almost stopping breathing. This last resort is a total strike, with the opossum essentially refusing to engage further until its demands are met.

While this primitive defense mechanism may work with other animals, it doesn’t necessarily have the same effect on people. In a real-life scenario, an opossum may even put itself in danger, such as swimming in a busy highway to block traffic. In such cases, the opossum would need assistance to be removed safely. A better alternative for protection could be a mongoose, known for its social nature and fearless behavior.

Mongooses are known to support each other and work together to defend against threats.
