My wife already hates opossums. This one would have really freaked her out.

Holy smokes, that thing is huge!

On a side note, nice Bergara bmr in the corner.

What a bigun!

There’s just no way. He’s gotta have long arms or some interesting camera work. Judging by the pic it has to be the size of his torso, which is not 14lb possum size.

The photographer is using the same forced perspective trick that fishermen love.

The byline says the critter was 14 pounds. That's terrier-sized.

Agree. In the pic he looks about 70 pounds, not 14.

14 pounds? That's not all that heavy for an old male opossum.

Precisely. My girlfriends miniature weenie dog is 9lbs, and is smaller than a 2 liter bottle of soda.
