Possum in the night

Possum in the night Close up

Lori from Bowmanville wrote to tell us about her wildlife sighting, she says ...... We saw our first Possum last night, sitting out on our back fence (we back onto a ravine) in Bowmanville.

Our neighbour's small dog was barking at it and jumping up trying to get at it, but it just sat there and looked down at her.

I took a couple of pictures of it, it is very cute.

My husband and I thought it was pretty cool having one hanging around.

starstarstarstarstar 		Possum
by: sue

We live just east of Bowmanville, Ontario, and have seen a Possum several times in the past two weeks.

His back leg seems to be injured.

The first time I seen him, my dog ran over to it and sure enough he played dead!

by: Anonymous

Went to let the dog out last night around 1 a.m.

Turned the light on and there was a Possum under the bird feeders by our deck, close to our door.

Didn't let the dog out back.

I think I will remove the feeders today, December 13, 2011

From Port Hope, Ontario. Went to let the dog in and noticed this creature climbing the tree. My daughter took a picture of it - turns out it was a Possum.

starstarstarstarstar 		Possum Oct.13, 2002
by: Bill Calver, Newcastle

Early this morning I put back light on to see temp. beside squirrel trap on rear deck, couldn't imagine, a 'Possum' in trap beside our grape-vine.

Kept it there 'till day-light, got 3 good pictures, then released it locally.

Now, I wonder if it was same possum Lori from Bowmanville saw?

Will forward pics. later

starstarstarstarstar 		Possum in Scarborough
by: norma

Last night about midnight, the dogs were barking as if they had seen a squirrel.

Fearing it was a Raccoon and they were antagonizing it, we went to investigate and found a Possum calmly watching us and not moving away.

When prodded by a twig, it moved slowly along the fence and then back-tracked and just stared at us.

Always exciting to see wildlife in a city garden. July 9/11
