Watching This Pet Possum Eat Broccoli Is The Cute Fix You Need Today


Get ready for your daily dose of cuteness overload. 

Meet Starfish. She’s a sweet li’l possum with a face for the silver screen. She loves to play with her cat siblings, attack her food with her candy corn teeth, and travel all over the country with her mom, Ally.

The young opossum crossed paths with Ally after she lost her tail as a baby. Since opossums are not typically pets, the reason she now lives with Ally is because without a tail she cannot do some of the things wild opossums need to do to stay alive. Tails are important to these animals because they use them for balance, carrying nesting materials, and climbing.

Mom Opossum and Her Adorable Babies Take Over Closet in Los Angeles Home


Beverly Grove, Los Angeles -  A woman cleaning out a closet noticed a trash bag moving. Startled she opened the bag and found a mom opossum and her babies.

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.
