Sam!

This is Sam, he is a friendly and very CHEEKY possum who lives with his family in the big camphor laurel trees above my house. He LOVES bananas but moreso avacados, I give him treats most evenings. He has been known to sneak in through the cat flap to help himself to the fruit bowl and leave a HUGE mess on the kitchen table after he has a party, I know this because I caught him in the kitchen after he knocked over the chair and spun himself out. Sam is by far the cheekiest of the possums, he was very happy to have his portrait taken this evening and was very inquisitive and almost posing, I thought the flash would startle him but he didn't mind at all, unlike his partner Sienna who decided she was having a bad fur day!
