Release went perfectly. I'm uploading the video now. When it's complete I'll post a link and update the OP.

Thanks for releasing him, and not torturing or killing him just because you could.

How are they scary? They will only be nasty if you have them cornered or are trying to mess with them. Once they know you are there they will do just what you said...run away.

Wiki

The Virginia Opossum is noted for its reaction to threat, which is to feign death. This is called "playing (o)possum", which is used to describe an attempt (by a possum or other creature) to pretend to be dead, injured, or just plain stupid with intent to deceive. This behavior should not be taken as an indication of docility, for under serious threat, an opossum will respond ferociously, hissing, screeching, and showing its teeth. While "playing possum", the opossum actually enters a near coma, which can last up to four hours. It lies on its side, mouth open, tongue hanging out, with green fluid emitting from its anus. :shocked: It is believed that the opossum has evolved this behavior to ward off predators, which often aren't interested in consuming prey which are already dead. Playing possum also convinces some large animals that the opossum is no threat to their young. Opossums that appear to be dead but who display no fatal injuries should be given the benefit of the doubt?don't bury them alive.

The hind tracks are unusual and distinctive due to the opossum's opposable thumb, which generally prints at an angle of 90 degrees or greater to the other fingers (sometimes near 180 degrees).

Opossums have long, hairless, prehensile tails, which can be used to grab branches and carry small objects.

Intersting.

He's supposed to play dead and squirt you with green stuff out of his anus...
