Cautious mother

This possum has two babies (count the tails) and was sleeping until we walked past to see it hidden amongst the branches

what a wonderful sight. I love possums and once had the pleasure of raising one that dropped out of its mother pouch

[Nicole]

Well spotted, great capture!

In the 3 years I have lived in Australia and the fact that I live in the bushland shire of Sydney I have only ever seen possums in the centre of the city. She has her beady eye on you!

[Sam]

[gloria jones]

Great capture

[Poppo Livy]

When I first saw you pic my first thought was "Gee, he looks a bit beaten up". Read the caption and I know why. Two babies cant be much fun for a possum. Great capture Robyn

I was astounded to see these possums in daytime, but it's amazing what you notice when you're wandering with the camera

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Sure enough! There's too many tails there for just one animal! Well spotted detail. Wonderful photo of this darling possum. (Yours are beautiful compared to the US's version of an opossum. Bless their hearts, they're just the homeliest things.)

[Danny Davies]

Adorable possum Robyn, well taken, would they make good pets, but don't send me any. fav.

[Marnie]

Great capture.

[Meredith McNay]

Well seen.

[Robyn]

@lyndemc @dannydavies @golftragic @wanabe Thank you. They definitely don't make good pets and are super bad if they get in your ceiling, but they're cute in the wild

[Joce]

Beautiful capture !! Nice little animal.
