Virginia Opossum

A friend had his annual "Mothball", where he has a few light set ups and invites a bunch of people. When a couple of us went to the lights in the woods, a young opossum got scared and ran up the first tree he came to. Only problem for this youngster was the tree was only 15 feet tall and not close to any other trees. We managed to get as many pictures as we wanted because the opossum couldn't go anywhere. Once we took the lights off him and walked away, he came down and ran off.
