A possum checks out our wood supply

Tweet

We camped with our Bavarian friends in Dryandra forest not far from the farm where I grew up. We’ve camped there before and, once darkness falls, the little marsupials are likely to come visiting. Sure enough, once we’d settled down by the fire after dinner, a brushtail possum and a woylie came fossicking around for any scraps or crumbs that we might have dropped. The photo is of the possum. I think they are much prettier than the American opossum but of course I’m pretty biased. This one checked out our supply of wood. The photo doesn’t show his bushy tail but it’s there. Lol The underparts are a creamy white.
