I went to water my plants, and rudely awakened this possum who was sleeping inside one of the big pots. They're nocturnal, so he had to go and find somewhere else to sleep, poor thing. Next thing I know, a big crow came down, landed right beside him, and grabbed a big chunk of his fur, presumably to feather his nest.   |

Not a good day for the poor possum, I guess. But it's amazing to see so much wildlife while being in home. Love it  |

I wouldn't be too pleased if someone set the hose on me while sleeping in my bed either. And then had someone else rip a chunk of my hair out. Hope his day got better after that.

He'd be wondering what the hell he'd done to deserve that. Poor thing. |

He'd be wondering what the hell he'd done to deserve that. Poor thing. Unfortunately we've lost quite a few neighbourhood trees in the past year. Their usual bedrooms have been demolished so they're scrambling for somewhere safe to kip in the daytime. |

I gotta say he's a tad bigger than I expected! Lets hope he finds somewhere else comfortable to sleep |

I think he went and found a spot under my neighbour's roof.  |

Like a number of your AWWW looking creatures in OZ, theses fellas don't seem to be as cuddly as the first look, at least according to the writings on the internet. Not being a learned Australian fellow myself I can only go by what is written by some self professed expert.
I still feel a bit sorry for the one in your picture, after all he/she just wanted to sleep.

Oh love him, poor little chap, and the crow adding insult to injury is just tooo much. Its sad that the wildlife are having fewer and fewer places to settle. You will have to make some Possum Pot bedrooms on your balcony . |

I am no fan of possums, sorry. Give them an inch and they will take a mile, your house and your contents! And then mess on you from a great height.  |
