    Pat, I think you and others are referring to the opossum. The term 'possum' is commonly but incorrectly used when referring to the opossum. Both are marsupials, but possums are only found in the eastern hemisphere. I do agree that possums are the more photogenic of the two - nice shot Steve.

    Denise, those are some great action shots of Brody. I'm glad that Sammy can receive his treatment now.

    Everyone around here just refers to them as possums, and usually even spell it wrong too, but you are correct of coarse - my bad.

    Opossums are still ugly, and possums are much cuter.
