Possum Sighting

by B Bishop
(Odessa, Ontario)

I live in Odessa, Ontario, which is a small town just west of Kingston.

We have a small creek in our back yard, and today looking out my window, I saw a Possum.

Rubbing my eyes, I looked again, and sure enough thats what it was!

I had no idea they were even around here.

Saw a Possum running across the road near my house in northern Etobicoke at about 9:00 p.m.tonight. First thought it was a Raccoon then when I saw the long, skinny, bare tail I realized it was a possum. First time I have ever seen one around here.

Strange Animal
by: Anonymous

Saw the freakiest animal tonight at 10:30 pm. It walked up my driveway and right to my front door. Stopped and stared at me , then walked around the back of my house.

I'm in Pickering area (Glenanna/Liverpool) and I have a stream behind my house and that's where it headed after it walked off.

It was bigger then my cats, gray, long skinny tail and pointed nose.

Still can't believe I saw this , I'm glad I was inside looking out as I would have been very scared lol.

Possum Sightings South Ajax
by: Anonymous

I live South Ajax in a very suburban / residential area.

I discovered dozens of strange holes randomly dug up in my front yard a few days ago..... last night I found out what it was.

A pretty big Possum sniffing around, destroying my lawn.

Never seen one before. I thought it was a Raccoon at first, but nope, definitely a Possum.

I wonder what it was looking for..... it only destroyed my lawn.

All the neighbors lawns were fine. smh

It may be looking for grubs or something it's hoping to find in your lawn!

Possum sighting
by: Anonymous

February 20, 2012

Saw a Possum on my back deck this evening at dinner hour. Threw a snowball at it.

Moved very slowly.

I have a ravine lot with l 1/2 hour area.

Didn't like the look of it.

My cats didn't seem to be too disturbed about it though.

It doesn't appear very nice looking.

Like a giant rat.

Possum in Pickering Ontario
by: Anonymous

Hi, we live in Pickering, just east of the Rouge and just saw our first Possum last night in our yard.

Wasn't sure at first if it was a local Raccoon till it turned around and I saw its face.

We never know what we will see in our yard so this was a real treat.

2 Possums sighted June 10, 2011 Toronto
by: Ann Kavanagh

Walking my dog around 12:10am I spotted two of these beautiful creatures in the area of Mt. Pleasant Road and Manor Road, Toronto.

I am sure they were Mum and her offspring, and of course, no camera with me!

I was totally amazed I could not believe what I had seen, I had to check on the web I really saw Possums in Toronto!

Tonight's walk I shall take my camera with me.

Possum in our yard
by: Harry

Harry, aged 4, told me there was a 'strange animal' in our yard. I thought he was pulling my leg until he took my hand and brought me to the window and there was a very white (with some black markings) long nosed animal.

My daughter, Lucy (8) correctly identified it as a Possum.

Very excited, but wonder where it has made its home.

They often live under decks or porches - we once had one living under our concrete front steps for the winter!

Sighting
by: Dave Vose

I live in South Ajax, Ontario, an urban area.

I saw a Possum this a.m. across the street. Grabbed my digital camera and ended up cornering him between a solid fence and garage of my neighbour.

Got some good photos as He (or She) decided to freeze motionless. Lasted for about 20 seconds then when I moved He made his getaway.

Showed photos to two 35 year local residents and its the first possum sighting they knew about.
