Finally a Picture of Our Cuddly Possum
Posted in Animals, Australia, Garden, Miscellaneous/Quirky, Non-Food, Possums, tagged Australia, Garden possums, kangaroo, koala, Ring-tailed possum on April 15, 2009 | 9 Comments »
In a previous post, I was bitching about the tedious task of having to always have our garden draped with bird-netting due to these cuddly Ring-tailed possums that live and forage in most urban neighbourhoods around here.
