As I was heading back home tonight I walked past this animal on the fence in front of our building. It scared me because I saw it out of the corner of my eye and i was pretty close to it. I first thought, dog, squirrel, and then when I actually looked at it I thought maybe possum of some sort. But then I remembered my boss telling me that city rats are the size of cats!!! I've never seen one before and thought OMG, this might just be it!!! It was so gross and scary looking with it mouth hanging open. I quickly grabbed my camera to take a shot of it and then bolted for it, for fear it was gonna run after me, bite me and infect me rabies! The thing is, it was so still it wasn't bothered by me at all, in fact it didn't even move after I took the picture and bolted, it just sat there.
Ok, just did a little googling on what possums look like and I found a pic that looked like this one. But still, ewwwww. I still have no doubt this guy would have pounced at me and eaten me, he looked hungry!
