I got the surprise of my life when I saw this possum with her brood on her back presumably on their way to somewhere. I have no idea where they came from - didn't even know they were in the neighborhood LOL. Anyway, I got my camera and took this picture and wish them good travel and lots of luck.I don't know much about possum. I don't bother them as long as they don't bother me and as far as I know, they don't. Live and let live. They were here first before housing development ran amock and robbed them of their natural habitat. I once saw a red coyote in the nearby regional park - I do not know how it got there but I know it is not going anywhere because the park is bounded on all sides by busy streets and beyond that are single family homes and commercial establishments. The reality of a fast shrinking world sucks and we are all in it. What a disconcerting thought.

hi bertn!
this possum family is adorable..the picture and your story just made my day, i'm all smiles here right now. i wish them lots of luck too =).
yes its sad that we are driving them and their lot away to nowhere to give way to 'development' :(.
'They paved paradise to put up a parking lot..' as the song goes. And we don't know what we've got till it's gone..
what a queer animal, i dont think i have seen one like that here in the philippines. It seems to be related to the rodent family.
I don't think we have them in Philippines...and good for us! We have enough problem as it is LOL.
elay, my visiting daughter said the same thing...they were an adorable family BUT I told her that after I shelled out a few hundred bucks to relocate a couple of them camping in my attic, they don't look as adorable to me anymore LOL.
