Backyard 'Pet'

Description

My 'pet' opossum, I caught this guy sleeping in my trashcan during the summer, then caught him again on my deck several nights later. I took a bunch of pictures of him and then let him go on his way. We separate "food" trash from regular trash since foxes and opossums tend to rummage through our garbage anyway. He had little fear of people (Now mind you he was not "friendly" but he did not show signs of aggression)

I see him pretty often now, but I only caught him once, he gets fed, so he doesn't see us as a threat, but doesn't show us affection either.

he's rather cute for a wild opossum, and it's nice of you to feed the guy.
