Image of Virginia Opossum
Description:
I was passing by Cat's Alley in an early evening when I saw several skunks, raccoons and one opossum eating the food people leave for the cats. They were so busy that they did not mind me staying close by (maybe about 5 m away). More skunks came and eventually there were six of them. However, at that point they started to fight. I tried to take a photo of the six skunks together but one left soon after, and I feared that I would get sprayed by them, so I also left. I caught five skunks in a few photos (http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/4669180)
