Opossum, where art thou?


As the Daily News reported, it was "marsupial madness" today as an opossum was discovered inside the Classic Gourmet Deli on First Avenue between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street.

There isn't much more to the narrative, other than the NYPD Emergency Services Unit was called in ... and the critter "was safely removed in a crate by Animal Care Centers." He was then released on the rooftop garden at Steiner East Village.

Who was this creature?
A. New York City's answer to Punxsutawney Phil
B. He's just looking or a slice of pizza that our NYC rats didn't get
C. Someone turned our Mayor into a beast....he was playing dead anyway

yeah, at first glance thought that was someone walking it on a leash as well.

The Steiner building definitely needs some night -- er, I mean wild -- life.

Excellent use of a "grabber" - usually employed to grab a roll of paper towels from a high shelf!
