Woman Finds Angry Visitor In Closet ... Who's Hiding Something Insanely Cute
"How many are there?"
A woman who found an opossum living in her closet had an adorable surprise when she realized the unusual visitor wasn't alone.
Tara McVicar received an unpleasant welcome when she first stumbled on the furry marsupial, who was cuddled up in a plastic bag. However, once she realized why the little critter was so defensive, the adventure quickly turned into a heartwarming rescue - which McVicar fortunately recorded, along with the adorable ongoing conversation between the two.
"Bag possum! You can't live in my closet, buddy!"
"That is a very terrifying sound! It is! It's a terrifying sound. But - you're relatively cute."
"Look! Baby 'possum! It's just a little baby in there!"
"How many are there? There's a lot, hey? There's a loooot."
McVicar's phone dies for a few minutes, during which she rescues some of the babies from the "creepy plastic bag."
"You just have to get in the basket and I will take you to them. It's a win-win! I can wait all day long! All day long, mama."
"She's coming out! By herself! Oh my god, I bet you she's looking for her babies."
"What is that noise? Oh my god, that's 'possum talk! She's like, 'Where are you, Seven, Eight and Nine?'"
"One big step for 'possum kind."
"The clicking thing seems so foolproof but you can't figure out the door?"
"Deus ex machina."
"You made it! You made it, mama!"
"One, two, three, four five ..."
"You got something on your nose."
"Bye, mama! Bye, babies!"
Of course, if you ever find an opossum living in your closet, you should probably call your local wildlife rescue.
