Possoms

Walking back from campus the other day at about 9:30. Marc and I saw something fall out of a tree ahead of us - a 7 meter fall - hit the pavement with a crack and lie there. I figured it was someone climbing the tree and dropped a shoe. As we got closer this thing it looked around and got up and staggered off the path - clearly still stunned and making the weirdest noise. Neither of us could really believe what had just happened. We laughed and wrote it off as an anomaly. A couple days later I was walking back and it happened again - different tree and a smaller possum, but one definitely fell out of a tree and landed right in front of me then ran off and climbed the tree again. I can't figure what to make of it.
