WINONA, Minn. – How the possum got there or when isn’t known. He’s not talking. But there he was in a backyard on the 650 block of Harriet Street — at least eight blocks from Lake Winona and 10 locks from the Mississippi River, the kind of haunts where a possum might more likely be found.
Mama and joeys. Along for a ride. Our own North American marsupial. About the size of a cat. They can hiss and bite.
