Actually, now I think of it, being as I'm on the top end of the globe, and on this island rather than your continent, I've never actually seen a live, mobile possum. I've travelled to Canada and New Zealand, but the only possums I've ever seen have been pizza shaped in the road. Even in the zoo all I've seen is a pile of bedding that quivered occasionally.....

Seen a ground hog. Heck they're fat! Good eatin' on one of them!!
