We know that the possum is a nocturnal creature that prefers the dark... so why might you sometimes see it wandering around in broad daylight? In this video, we explore how urgent searches for food by hungry possums or nursing mothers force them out during the day, how human disturbances like destroyed shelters drive them to find new refuges, and why daytime wandering can sometimes be a sign of illness, injury, or disorientation. What you will learn:The Urgent Food Search: Why increasing numbers and scarce nighttime resources force hungry possums or nursing mothers to hunt for quick meals by day. The Human Disturbance Factor: How cutting down trees or shelters forces these nocturnal animals to search for new refuges under the sun. The Illness & Injury Sign: Why daytime wandering can sometimes indicate that a possum is disoriented, injured, or losing normal awareness.
