I’m thinking possum.
So it’s not true that they are all born dead by the side of the road.

It worked when I clicked the Play icon at the bottom left of the screen. The big icon may not work.

Nice roll up on the cold weather sleeping bag.
It looks like all his crap on the ALICE would fall off, pull off, drop off in minutes.

No clip. That's because it doesn't use one.

I have seen rats scurrying on the sidewalk in S.F. that were much larger than the one in the video (I refer here to the four-leged variety - the ones with long tails and lots of fur). Maybe the rats in its native habitat are kind of puny - they must be if this thing is 5 times larger than they are.

You beat me by 45 seconds... I was still surprised it took 11 posts for someone to mention it.

The rodent's family members were happy to see him.

I expected to see Ted Kennedy. How disappointing ... there is a passing resemblance.

I think the big one is the possum-like animal briefly shown in the middle of the video. The small bushbaby-like critter at the beginning is the ‘other’ new mammal.
