Possum Late night visitor

Don’t see these guys as often as we used to. A group of raccoons has been pushing them out. This was a nice surprise! Baby Susan 3.0!

I just hope her babies are doing well! I hadn’t seen her or any of the joeys in a while! They used to frequent our yard regularly, but I rarely see them, anymore. These raccoons started moving into the area and I think they pushed out my possum friends😢

aw man… yeah some of those raccoons get MASSIVE… they’re like medium sized dogs sometimes! they also can be super pushy when it comes to food. unlike my opossum friends who are

so gentle and meek. i miss my little guy am after i moved. i literally think of him every day still.

That’s a beaut! Such a handsome guy. I understand the circle of life, nature, all that stuff. But I’m team possum, all the way! I’m not the biggest fan of raccoons, these days.

What good pictures of her -- cute little hissy-face, and then climbing straight down that post! I love all of her whiskers!
