Or possum, or postum, depending on where you come from. A visitor to my garden this evening, opossums are wonderful creatures, they are entirely beneficial.

He's not playing dead...you must not be very scary!  Very nice close-up.

I haven't seen one around here in years.  Now that I no longer have a dog, maybe they will return.

Thank you for the comments, I was surprised I got as close as I did but it just watched me warily, it never hissed. We see these quite a lot, we have a small area of the garden that is wild, I built some small "caves" using rocks and concrete slabs and we have allowed native plants to do their thing over them for 15 years. It is a haven for the local fauna.

We see them quite regularly here in the city. They're comfortable in the cemeteries and parks and they come out at night and wander about I think looking for tasty treats. This is a nice shot. I have tried several times but the eyes never come out good like those in your image.
