Some pics of the possums I took in the backyard 09/10/04.

The pictures have been reduced in size and quality to be more web friendly.

Our friendly neighbourhood possum enters the 'demilitarized zone' - both our neighbours have dogs which like to play rough with possums. Our backyard has become home to at least 4 of these critters at least part time. They seem to be trying to live in the roller door for the garage - which proves challenging when Simon open and closes the door three times a day.

We occasionally give the possums some bits of vegetable or fruit. This one in particular isn't going to die of hunger any time soon. He looks like a bit of a fatty. Just sat there happily about 40cms away from me and my camera and munched on his apple. I think we have to give this guy LESS food - that bit of apple is as big as his head.

You get some idea of the girth of our friend from this shot. And his big bushy tail.
