I met a possum face to face the other night. There was some loud scrap outside at like 3am, whether they were warring with each other or getting attacked by a cat I'm not sure. One ended up petrified on my outdoor chair and we were there looking at each other for like 10 minutes. I got him to crawl into an empty plant pot and I took him to my Frangipani tree where he climbed up, onto the fence and scurried away.
