Opossums I have Known

[emo_snal]

   Once upon when I was relatively wee, I looked out my bedroom window, which opened out over a section of roof sloping away at a relatively slight angle, and out there in the dark silhouetted by the streetlights there was something moving. Something large and furry. A wild animal! A opossum

I think the American ones are definitely cuter!

I like your possum stories.
I live in Calif and I don't even own a flashlight. (I used to have a roomie who owned one but he moved out.)

O: oh noe you need a flashlight by your bed! Earthquakes can strike at any time!

There were wild when I was growing up in Michigan. They weren't terribly appreciated back then....
Aussie Sancho is so not cute. LOL
(But then, it could be the brain freeze look.)

I do think the American 'possoms are cuter, but I love the tail on your Aussie 'possoms.

I have a friend who has to fight both opossum and raccoons over the cat food she puts out for her cats. Cracks me up. She's actually found the cat sitting on the porch watching the raccoon eating the food.

Cat knows who has prehensile hands in this match.

I haven't had much interaction with raccoons but from what I hear they can be fierce!! also unlike possums they can have rabies
