Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - baby oppossum

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor blugrn.

Step right up, step right up. Come one, come all and witness the swimming opossum! This little bugger likes to swim, but isn't smart enough to crawl out of the pool. According to the photographer, "this the second time (2 days in a row) we've had to fish him out of the pool. fortunately for the little critter he's been able to find a place to rest." Good thing he found a place to rest or someone would have to find four little floaties.
