A face only his mama could love?

Being a nocturnal feeder you don't often see a opossum in the daytime

Ah, he's kinda cute!

It's a very welcome tick eater! We'll take all we can get in Michigan.

Great capture. Love those ears.

 

[BorderBirder]

Brilliant Never seen one or even an image of one before. Well done

This one is in good shape. I occasionally see them around here in daytime during winter. I got a few pictures on two occasions and in both cases the tips of the ears look bad, probably due to frostbite.

Nice captures of a beautiful little animal.

 

[Woody Meristem]

Nice photos. They're interesting animals; the average lifespan is two years and we often see them with all or part of the tail missing as well as large chunks of their ears -- severe frostbite does that.

beautiful little animal

Can't say I've ever seen or heard them described as beautiful before, although that one is as nice looking as they get.

Beauty must fade with familiarity because I grew up around them and think the thread title fits. Many southern states in the US use them to fill potholes in the roads.
