Possum

This unfortunate Possum was blown out of a tree in my yard yesterday. It appears that it suffered scrapes on the left side of it's head, probably from hitting a limb on its way to the ground. Not often does one get the opportunity to photograph a Possum during the day. Been a bit breezy here the past few days.

They are pretty scroungy animals up close. Big teeth. And I've never seen one "play possum" -- they snarl and show their teeth instead.
