8 hours later, this possum was still in the trap. He had all day to simply walk out. Door was wide open. Instead he went to the back of the trap, where I had leaves piled up, and he bedded down.

So I had to pick up the trap, and shake him out. Which wasn't easy, as his claws were wrapped around the wire mesh.

They don't move fast on the ground. He finally walked off into the brush, looking all annoyed.
