This picture was taken (by me) four years ago today. I called it "possum" although there are two possums in the picture (that we can see). It's a mother & her child. It was taken in my backyard in Fort Worth, & I was alerted to the strangeness of a nocturnal animal like a possum awake during the day & wandered across a wire by my dog Pauline, who totally lost her shit & got everyone in the house as excited as she was.
It wasn't the first time a possum showed up in our yard, & the other times Pauline & also Yoko attacked the poor marsupial. & it surely played possum. I was able to wrangle the dogs back into the house, & checked back later. The possum the dogs thought they'd dispatched? Gone.
