When she opened the bag the mom opossum was upset and
hissed at her. Tara McVicar pulled out her cell phone and documented her close
encounter. "That's a terrifying sound, but you're relatively cute,"
she says to the hissing marsupial.
She's soon won over once she realizes it's a momma possum
with her seven babies on her back, nearly melting down: "Omg! it's the
cutest thing I ever saw."
McVicar thinks the opossums got in when she left the patio
door open for her daughter's pet rabbit, Mustache.
Eventually she's able to get the animals outside when she
puts the bag, with a few babies inside, in Mustache's backyard cage. The babies
calling out for their mother draw the opossums out. "Just take 3rd all the
way to Beverly Hills," she says as she bids the possum family farewell.
