Here (Australia) the little varmints run about in the rooves and keep people awake.

Had one on my carport once, trying to get into the garbage can. I thought I was going to have to call the animal control people to get it gone. Wasn't afraid of a broom at all, and hissed and slobbered at me until I was the one that was scared. I finally got a shovel, and shoveled her off into the yard. The kids thought it was great to have a 'possum on the property, but I didn't.<BR/><BR/>That first photo is plum' scary!
