Opossum Tracks

 
Opossum tracks don't get much better than this.  Especially the left rear.  Possum patterns are one of those where when I see a total mess, I start looking for possum characteristics. Speaking of which, "possums" live in Australia, and "opossums" live in the western hemisphere. (according to grammarist.com)
Left rear; note the beautiful musculature of the "palm" and the opposable "thumb".


Right front partially covered by right rear, in the opossum's typical understep walk.
