Caught in the Act - The Mischievous Australian Brushtail Possum!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hilarious print captures the undeniable evidence of a nighttime raid on a bird feeder by our furry friend, the Australian Brushtail Possum. With seed husks adorably decorating its nose, this urban and suburban dweller proves that it knows how to have some fun! Found all across Australia (except for the arid outback), this common marsupial is known for its love of leaves and fruit found in woodland canopies or on the ground. During the day, it takes refuge in cozy tree-hollows but in urban areas, you might just find it snoozing away in your roof cavities. With those captivating eyes and whiskers, this gray beauty has become a beloved resident of many neighborhoods. Its decline in numbers makes encounters like these even more special. Photographer Eric Lindgren perfectly captured this single possum's close-up as it stares right into our souls with an innocent face. But don't be fooled by that sweet expression - behind those adorable features lies a mischievous nature!
