I knew that an Opossum frequented my yard since I’d caught glimpses of it at night, disappearing under my Plumbago bush. Oddly, until recently the animal had eluded the camera in my front yard.

Not sure how because it isn’t tiny! For reference, the shell-lined drainage trench measures 14″ across, so I’m estimating this one is a good 2′ long (including tail).

Since opossums typically dine on insects and rodents, I’m happy to have it visit!
