[–] PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) I've actually never seen a possum irl, so this video was very informative (and entertaining 🤣). permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zagorath@aussie.zone [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Wow really, never‽ Where do you live, may I ask? Here in suburban Brisbane, if I looked out my window more often I would probably see one every night. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago I live near Jimboomba, so I should have seen them by now 😅 Might have to go out looking for them. However, I grew up in New Zealand so didn't really go outside that often due to how cold and wet it is over there. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago I have about three possums per square metre where I am. I hear them carousing across the roof nightly, one lives (and raises baby possums) in the blocked off chimney in the bedroom, and I regualrly hear them disputing territory in the back yard. I recently lost a staring competition with a possum sitting on the fence outside my kitchen window. I've also had a possum come inside the house on three separate occasions. I like possums in general, but I'd be very happy to have a few less of them around, I'm completely outnumbered and the garden suffers from their nibbling as well. permalink fedilink source parent
