I'm not sure what the emergency is, but this possum is clearly prepared.

I knew you were in Australia and that Australian possums have furry tails, and I still did a double-take.

And that does seem to be a very prepared possum. :D

Australian possums are super cute, aren't they? The ones we had in San Diego weren't nearly this attractive.

:-) I don't think this possum has a very good grasp of possumy behavior. It's on the ground, standing up, in broad daylight. What's up with that?

That doesn't look like a possum from this neck o' the woods {G} Cute though!

Wonder what it knows that we don't?

Yep, Australian possums are different. Then again, Australian everything is different. :-)

Gorgeous, aren't they? We have one so fat he can barely move, plus he's confused about the whole nocturnal thing.

I don't think this little dude has the "nocturnal" business figured out either. It was 4:30 in the afternoon when I saw him.

Maybe he had a hot date waiting for him. It's a great, easy to spot meeting place.
