Woman surprised to find opossum and its babies in her closet

A woman from Beverly Grove, Los Angeles, had quite a surprise when she went into her closet last week. Amid the clothes and shoes, she found an angry, hissing opossum hiding in a plastic bag.



"I opened it really gently and it did that thing, that 'grrr,'" Tara McVicar said. With her camera in hand, McVicar set out to clean out her closet, but the opossum was not alone.





It had several babies clinging to its back. McVicar believes the opossum got into her house because she occasionally leaves the door open to let her rabbit in. "Her demeanor changed when my demeanor changed.

"I really did have a moment when I saw her children and I was like, 'What's going on?'" McVicar said. McVicar lured the animal out of her apartment and the opossum family went on their way.

I hadn't planned to watch the whole video, but the narrator/unwitting possum host was pretty entertaining
