So, they’re not the embodiment of my uncle, Helge?
I’ve actually never seen a possum irl, so this video was very informative (and entertaining 🤣).
Wow really, never‽ Where do you live, may I ask? Here in suburban Brisbane, if I looked out my window more often I would probably see one every night.
I have about three possums per square metre where I am. I hear them carousing across the roof nightly, one lives (and raises baby possums) in the blocked off chimney in the bedroom, and I regualrly hear them disputing territory in the back yard. I recently lost a staring competition with a possum sitting on the fence outside my kitchen window. I’ve also had a possum come inside the house on three separate occasions.
I like possums in general, but I’d be very happy to have a few less of them around, I’m completely outnumbered and the garden suffers from their nibbling as well.
I probably won’t watch the video later, but my funny story is once I was walking home from the pub, quite intoxicated, and one was in the middle of the road, it ran away but only about 1m up a tree, so I thought hmm this little larrikin seems friendly enough il go for a little pat, slowly approached, he didn’t move, reached out, he didn’t move, got to about half a hand away from his head, then the little cunt bit me right on the finger tip, I yelled, he flew up the tree, I continued my way home cursing him and his attitude, by the time I’d got home I had realised that I was in the wrong, he in fact was a wild animal and I’d disobey the rule of don’t stick your fingers where you wouldn’t stick your dick.
