Field Notes

Description:

The Virginia opossum is native to Georgia. We accidentally left a pizza box out one night when this critter came to see if there was anything left. This guy appeared to be larger than our pet cat. It eventually left after coming up empty. Lesson learned - don't leave trash out uncovered!
