Ick...Possum

This isn't the best picture, but you can pretty much see we had a marsupial siting in our backyard tonight. I never knew that opossums were indigenous to southern Ontario. If not, then this one is a long way from his native habitat. This is my first time seeing an opposum, though quirky as it is, I made a fisherman's scarf out of merino & fur (the fur being Austrailian possum) a couple of month's back.

Michelle, around here (B.C.) opposums are VERY common "road pizzas". You seen them squished on the road side far more often than you will ever see them alive and moving about. Here we see live racoons a lot.

Road pizzas, eh. Yuck! I haven't even seen an opposum, ahem, road pizza. Raccoon and squirrel road pizzas are very popular here though. [g]

Thank you for the info on opposums eatsomepopcorn. It's still a little weird that this is my first siting of one and I'm [mumble] years old.
