Another Christmas Tree stowaway.

An opossum popped out of the tree and frightened this family in Englewood, PA. Apparently, Dad threw the tree, lights, stand and all out on to the lawn. Then they had the state Game Commission come and take the 18-inch critter away.

Now, ‘possums aren’t as cute as tiny little stoned screech owls (see yesterday’s posts), in fact they can be ugly as sin, but they can also be good eats should you be so inclined. (No I’ve never tried one! But I don’t think I’d shy away from it.)
