The first video is of a North American opossum (also called Virginia opossum) and the second video is of an Australian possum (without the o). They are awfully shy creatures.

It was surprising that LA has a human introduced peacock population. They sound a bit like monkeys when they sing from the trees. I read they can be territorially violent but I never saw one attacking a human. They are bigger than the chickens.

Was interesting, serval meowing, min-pin was not at any time growling but appeared excited. I do not know exactly what to think, but interesting.

EDIT: A few of the comments on the YouTube video give some better understanding.

EDIT: I just found that what I described to do in the earlier edit did not actually work. FIRST click on the video in the post to begin its play; AND THEN start the right-click, etc. what then follows.
