I think it's fascinating to know that there are creatures like this carrying on their hidden lives in the environment we think of as ours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830553767527010173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2139421497584248575.post-88037638963753072322008-01-08T20:06:00.000-06:002008-01-08T20:06:00.000-06:00I have lived in my home in Mendota heights for ove...I have lived in my home in Mendota heights for over 20 years and never seen a possum b4 tonight.
