You guys ever seen a hairless possum? OMG
I was walking the other day around campus when out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving by the giant statue. Me, being a keen observer of animals, instinctively guessed that this animal walked like a possum. It did not look like one, however. When I got closer, I observed what was a most repulsive specimen. This thing was completely hairless. It had giant black bulbous eyes and a long tail. The description that I immediately thought of was...."this thing looks like some sort of demon rat."

I couldn't find any images on google, but trust me, this thing was seriously fugly. :)

Anybody seen a completely hairless possum befor?


p.s.

(i think normal possums are cute and very laid back)

5. yeah man, like that except the eyes were wide and luminous
when they have their eyes wide open they look so much larger than on a normal possum.

it's pretty freaky to see one of these up close when you aren't expecting it.
