Common Brushtail Possum

Trichosurus vulpecula

Description:

Native to Australia, and the largest of the possums.

Notes:

This is the possum that hangs out in our shed and eats all the vegies from my garden. It looks like it might have a young one in it's pouch.

No I've given up on the garden - between the possum and the dog I've got no hope!

Yep - he looks the largest - are there any vegies left !?
