Hmm... the only thing that rings true on this is that it might not be very well house trained... maybe you should call Betty, just out of curiosity!
Just back from 3 glorious, warm, sunny days in your city. I felt e little like I was cheating on my beloved Melbourne, such was the extent of my flirtation with Sydney.
I gather this to be either a Brushtail Possum or, more likely, a Ringtail Possum. See that right front paw. See those two 'thumbs'? That apparently is the key.
Yes, I suspect it is an in-joke of some kind. I have possums in my trees, anbd this sign is about 100m away.
It looks like an American Opossum to me. The phone number actually belongs to a hotel in Paddington. I couldn't resist ringing it. It's funny but I'm not sure what the intended joke is exactly. :lol:
Recently - like the last 10 days - all posts, shopfronts and bus shelters have been plastered with posters for a little black cat lost over in Darlinghurst. That is probably 1km away. I wonder if this is a spoof?
Doesn't look cute like the brush tail possums that invade our place. Last week orignally thought the possums had got in to cause havoc until I realised the drawers and cupboards were open and possums don't do that ... though they are certainly not very well house trained.

Does it have a naked, pink tail? It's an opussum! And I thought you guys had cornered the market in marsupial knowledge! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I want to know... ;-)))
ReplyDeleteI can understand why someone "lost him"! :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like a joke to keep everyone on their toes.

Looks like trick photography to me even if it a Possum :-).
ReplyDeleteyep, call Betty lol
ReplyDeleteLOL. Don't think I'd want it back.

ReplyDeleteWhich one, Jim?

If it looks like a possum, walks like a possum, and smells like a possom, it's a possum.
ReplyDeleteNow if I found this little darling roaming the streets I don't think I would be inviting it home with a bit of Snappy Tom.
ReplyDeleteStrikes me this little darling comes with built-in snappy tom.
ReplyDeleteCould be the Emmaville Panther? Perhaps a DropBear ... Bettty of the 3 T's sound like a wee Scottish lassie. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIf this isn't a trick poster, then would not want to come across such a creature in the street.
ReplyDeleteThink the owner needs a lesson in biology
ReplyDeleteLittle bit scary when you click on and make it bigger Julie, hope it's a joke and we don't have these things roaming around haha!
ReplyDeleteSomeone MUST be playing a joke here?!? Of course it is a possum, but this made me smile! Thanks!
