Possum Alert!

There was much excitement (and a bit of horror) yesterday. It all started when another PhD student came to my office and said *Mallymoodle? There's a possum in my office.* So naturally I had to investigate.

And then call more people to investigate.

And then the working day was essentially finished while we fed it and waited for people to remove it.

Anyway, here's a video of the critter eating food from our hands, as taken by...(blogname tbc).

wtf.. you've tamed a wild animal!!!!

kinda creepy and cute at the same time.

he can be your office pet and he'll no longer have to forage....then he'll get fat from eating human food

That's so cool. Obviously a suburban one. I can't believe it was so calm. The ones that raid the common rooms at the MLC boarding house are psycho and pee all over the place.
