SUPERSHOW!!!

Last night I came home to find two possums eating garbage on my back porch. Here’s a picture of the offenders (one of them is partially concealed in the upper right hand corner):

Anyone who leaves garbage unattended at night can expect some animal is going to come and eat it. What bothered me was the possum stayed there long enough for me to snap a picture with my phone. This was after banging on my door and turning my porch light on and off to scare it.

Here’s another picture I took while it was busy not leaving after my noise making and light flicking:

Here’s a picture of it going back to eating a napkin after I stopped banging on the door:

I’m having a difficult time believing there’s a process that stretches over millions of years where only the animals most fit to survive live to pass on their genes when said process produces an animal unresponsive to signs of a potential predator whose second line of defense is playing dead.

It’s just lucky the same hypothetical million year process instilled in me a fear of walking from behind a screen door to scare off a much smaller, stupider animal than I.

Point, Palin.
