My neighbor is an animal lover and has been known to nurse some wild animals back to health.
The other day she called and said "You have to come over and see what I have here"
She had been driving home from work, when she saw something tiny along the side of the road. When she looked closely she saw it was a baby possum. She pulled into a driveway and watched, but there was no mother in sight and this baby was just wandering around, so she took it home. She kept it overnight and is bringing it to a wild animal rescue place.
In the meantime - they named her Maxie and she seems pretty happy in her temporary home!

Here she is sleeping in a towel.
Look how tiny she is - just a little longer than finger length.
Heather held her, I just looked! She's almost cute - for a possum!
