Common Brushtail Possum

Trichosurus vulpecula

Notes:

http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/145... shows an earlier spotting of this one in a pouch. Now he's all grown up. He loves tight squeezes and hangs out with his mum in a 4 inch gap between the roof and a bit of board. Don't know how they sleep there during the day - the roof was so hot it nearly burnt my finger to touch and these guys are squashed up right against it all day.

That's our lovable little varmints. We get them in the roof of our shed. Also right under the tin. Here's one of two siblings that stayed about six months: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/310...
