I found this tired little possum. I think the dog had been chasing it around. He'd been messing around chasing something in the long grass for over an hour. I was doing something else so didn't really pay attention.

It was so stressed & tired from the dog that it didn't move when I approached it. I fed it a couple of ripe bananas & let it chill in peace. It was gone when I checked back on it a couple of hours later.

Winning at life Brisket Snow 🫡🧡

I felt so sorry for this little fella. I generally don't love possums but this one seemed so cute. When it sniffed the banana & started munching on it, I was pretty happy. I was worried that my dog had hurt it but also didn't want to touch it.

Just went out & found it dead not far from where it was yesterday. 😔

I couldn't see any bite marks on it. My guess is that it was sick. It's so weird to see a possum out in the day time.

Awww that’s sad!

The only ones I see in daylight are those hanging from the electricity poles on the street. Fried to a crisp!

Well that went morbid very quickly 😅

I just hope my last meal isn't an overripe banana.

Probability says that's unlikely

😂

Oh that was “bitcoin” Brisket Snow!

I hope your last meal isn’t a rule banana too.

I’ll get you the money shot of the fried possum tomorrow . Too dark now!! 😎😅

Feck … dah … argh sheaths a typo!!!!!

Nice, I rescued this little brush tail joey from its mum’s pouch one evening last week. The mum had been hit by a car but this little guy survived. Handed it over to a wildlife carer a few hours later. Was going to keep it but realised I couldn’t dedicate the time it would require.

So tiny!
