What a cute baby possum. I have never seen one of them before. I like the way it is perching on his mother's back. Great catch and TFS. : )

Cute! Neat POV!
Not quite the Gilbert's Potoroo but cool anyway.
You know the Gilbert's Potoroo reminds me of the slow extinction of the South American Chinchilla (photos on treklens). They make fun pets...
