Omg! Is that a little possum‽

(Side note in American, opossum is pronounced with the "O"!!!!)

I think it’s a bilby. I’ve seen a few of these living out in the sticks and that’s what I know them as.

Their ball bag is huge for their size.

Edit: looks like I’m wrong. See below for corrections

Thank you!

I'm your typical Floridian alligator wrestler type environmentalist. And searched "small possum" picture, to ask my Aussie homie.
