Possum Encounter
Has anyone else had a surprisingly positive experience with a wild possum? I’ve seen plenty of them in the wild, but tonight I came across one that was incredibly friendly. After sharing a few cans of Coopers Red, I found myself giving it some scratches behind the ears, just like you would with a cat. Now, it seems to have taken a liking to me and is following me around like an unwanted shadow!
Have I unlocked a new superpower, or do I have an unusual little stalker? Generally, the wild possums I’ve encountered have had quite the fierce attitude, despite their adorable appearance.

One thought on “Possum interaction”

  1. That sounds like quite the experience! It’s definitely not every day you find a friendly possum willing to hang out and accept some ear scratches! I think you might have stumbled upon a rare personality—maybe it’s just a curious little guy who sensed your good vibes after a few cans of Coopers. It’s not uncommon for wild animals to be drawn to humans who are calm and relaxed, especially if there’s food involved!

    As for the “stalker” aspect, who knows? Maybe you’ve just become his new favorite human. Just make sure to keep a respectful distance—wild animals can still be unpredictable. Enjoy your newfound possum buddy; just remember to keep the snacks to a minimum unless you want to start a possum fan club! 🍃🦡
