Don’t possums go thousands of miles, if necessary to get back to “their” own back yards?
Oh, no. You don’t mean . . . homing marsupials! Actually, last summer I trapped and relocated two possums, six raccoons, and that turtle from my back yard to the river. How that ten-inch turtle got into the dry dock of my back yard is a mystery.
