He was waiting on you to bring out the trash

He's trying to find a way into your roof >

Its kinda cute!

It seems taking out the trash brings out the color in his eyes lol

Ahhhh how cute is he. Why can't we have possums in England

yes he is cute, but trust me Kathy, be glad you don't get them..they get into your roof, like Lisa said, chew through everything, keep you awake, eat your plants.they can be a real nuisance.....

Yes Vanessa,sounds like we are probably better off without them.

They aren't as cute up close. They are really just like huge rats. They do loads of damage if they get into your house. We have them here, but the coons are worse. They make a huge mess and are really nasty creatures (as in mean). I like the squirels best.

Yes they look cute but that is about it...there are a heap of possums living in a sinkhole that is a tourist attraction in the beautiful town of Mount Gambier, South Australia..we were there and all the possums come out at night.. went to give them a piece of apple and one took a big chunk out of Tony's finger!..and they are relatively tame ones!

When I first saw the pic I thought "Aw, how sweet!". Now I've read all the comments & I'm thinking "Thank goodness we don't get the little b*ggers in the uk!"

and they poop everywhere

My parent's used to own a property and just outside the back door there was a massive tree that they had a little bird feeder in... EVERY night this MASSIVE possum would get into the feeder and if you went outside while he was there he would growl at you!

They're not the sweet little fluffy furballs that people think they are, are they?
