Consider, if you will, the sartorial importance of tail attire. To bare, or not to bare… that is the question. The answer might seem to be of little consequence, but for marsupials living in cities and suburbs some strategically placed fur can make all the difference.
That’s because naked tails make people nervous. I blame this bias on the Black Death.
Adorable!
He sure is! Nice to see you here Thea!
What an adorable animal. This picture captured a priceless, beautiful moment. yes, super cute!
He is rather cute!
I think both types of possums have the cutest faces. I’ve never considered them rodents, just cute little animals that run around at night! They’re rather shy in our neck of the woods.
Technically, they are marsupials – and I think they are cute too! Why are we drawn to animals with big, wide eyes?
Cool little critter. Thanks, Barb.
No worries.
They look a lot cuter than the possums we have around here!
Really? Do you have a picture of one of yours to compare?
Very cute in a squirrel sort of way.
Yes, they are!
I think you are right about the cute factor here Barb!
I reckon!
What a cute little one.
I’m finally catching up on blogs; about 3500 emails! Thanks for your patience! 
I see you are very busy catching up, and really appreciate you taking the time out to comment, Eliz.
`gotta love the feet on that critter!
They look like they could deliver a nasty scratch, Joss!
Oh what an adorable, little animal, Barb! I do understand, that they can present a bit of a problem, if you get them in the ceiling, though
It’s so interesting to read about all the different animals you guys have there in Oz!
We do have some weird and wonderful animals Reb, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Wow! That’s an animal we haven’t seen in our yard before!
Bella and DiDi
You would chase them!
Hi,
Oh yes our wonderful possums. They are beautiful and they are cute, but it took us months to get a possum out of our roof, we have heaps around here even though we are in the city limits, then of course we had to clean up in the roof.
They can be a problem, and they do make a bit of a mess in the roof, but who can resist those cute little faces with the big eyes!
So adorable, what a precious little creature, so sweet. Thank you for posting this..hope all is well with you Barb, we are having rain today, sun tomorrow and then cloudy and rainy all week, outside of Washington, DC…but we need the rain. Such a curl up read a good book and have a nice cup of tea weather and the temp is chilly.
Be well
They do look very sweet, but can also be a problem when they get into the roof space; they are so noisy! We are all good here Cathy, enjoying some cooler weather now we are in Autumn.
