The only picture I have of a possom is a huge scary one (and it's on film, not digital, so I can't share). He looked really dirty. I think they're cute when they're babies but get ugly when they get old and grumpy.
I have old film pictures of a baby possum on my fence, and of a very stuffed possum playing dead in the bottom of my garbage can. He'd eaten several containers of cookies we'd thrown out, and could not get out of the can. I gently tipped it over, and he waddled off into the night.
