Killed a Possom

[Mortblanc]

Yep!

And some of them will push 20 pounds, though they are usually around 5-6. I have run into some absolutely huge ones in urban settings where they have ample food and few predators.

They are an ancient animal left from the early development of the mammal. Probably one of the most successful designs of the ages.

They are omnivores and will eat absolutely anything, scavengers that will take live animals when available. They climb like squirrels and nest in hollow logs and trees and occasionally under houses and in attics. Nothing like crawling into the crawl space for a repair and finding one of them nesting in your area.

They also breed profusely, and it is not unusual for a mother possum to have 10-12 babies riding along on her back.
