Brampton Ontario Possum

Opossum in backyard in December.

This Opossum is as big as an adult raccoon, maybe even bigger.

I first saw it one foggy morning rummaging around our backyard and walking back and forth.

It was daylight but early morning when we saw it both times, after a thaw when the snow disappeared and the grass was exposed.

We assumed it was looking for something to eat.
