Popcorn Possum

The first time this city girl saw a possum I thought, "Man, that is one huge rat!" It wasn't but it might as well be as they really creep me out. This guy visited yesterday to eat the popcorn I had thrown out for the birds. I thought possums only came out at night but apparently not. Popcorn Possum is bigger than Bella!

Looks like there's something wrong with his ear...fight perhaps?

Possums Are Cuter Than Cats

Baby possum = cute & harmless



Grown cat = scruffy & nasty





So, that's the little scoundrel that's tearing up my pond and terrorizing my poor koi. Time to get the cage out...

The Possum and the Mist

The only things that disturbed the pond the night before last was the possum...



and this "mist" which wasn't seen by my naked eye but was captured by the game camera as I held it up after I heard a noise and asked if there was anyone there...
