Young Opossum in Mississauga back yard

We have had numerous possums visiting our yard for many years. Here is the latest. It is pretty young.

It appears to be living under my neighbour's shed. Here is it after going through a hole in our fence (used by possums, bunnies, skunks, raccoons, squirrels and even the occasional porcupine).

It was curious about the flashlight and stood very still. Enjoy.

PS: We are in the Old Meadowvale area of Mississauga.
