It's been roughly three years since I've seen an opossum that wasn't reduced to roadkill. :( You forgot vehicular homicide — the culprit to which I’m alluding.

I know most people think they're unattractive, but I happen to find them adorable. And they're our only marsupial, making them unique in my book.

And it's great to see you online again (and I hope it stays that way). Now you have my interest revved up. You found an opossum in your oven drawer? Thanks, Swampy!

I'm in the middle of a city and see them all the time. Is it predators, hunting, just not a good environment for them, or something else entirely?

I had to wait an hour to get the photo. I knew the opossum was in the tree, but the opossum knew I was on the ground and it stayed hidden near the top for quite some time. I almost gave up...
