Nicodemus Punch Sugarpop (OK — that's not really working as a name), the opossum of Tompkins Square Park, is apparently feeling more comfortable now roaming around.
EVG reader Mark Cyr shared these photos from today... showing Parachute ChingChing Yanoonoo enjoying some discarded takeout (where is the mayor with the opossum-proof trash cans????).
Mark also noted that the squirrels would run away from Rasta Jenny Ju...
Per Mark: "We better name him soon — he looks like he is moving in."

I like Nicodemus.
So cute. These guys eat rats, mice, insects and other creepy crawlies, so they're helping.
Rudy
The neighborhood is gettin' wild like the old days! Look at the sneer on that possum's face!
Way too clean for that. Also does not have a pet dog, iphone or sign. Punk Rock Possum?
Yay! Welcome, sweetie!
Love him!
How about Possibly Possum Rabies Baby
Call him/her EVO for East Village Opossum.
Get off my lawn bub. Git your own tree...
Furry McGee?
Tiny Golightly??
Alt Rat???
I keep on trying to imagine how this little critter got to as real estate people love to say "the heart of the East Village". It's not like opposums grow from seeds so either someone released he/she here or it made the journey from another borough with a bit more wildlife, yes I'm looking at you Bronx our city's only mainland borough.
Smiley!
Still like Opie.
Are we sure this is a "he"? I'm so excited to see this beautiful creature! Very important insect-control eating habits (begone ticks!). Hopefully, this lone North American marsupial is carrying more in its pouch!
I thought they were nocturnal hmmmm... How about just plain old 'Greg'?
A name by any other name?
Make it simply:
Thompkins.
pr.
God, that is one nasty-looking critter.
I second Rudy.
I third Nicodemus
With all due respect, we can do better than "Opie" the Opossum. That's what you call the critter in SterileCity. We still have traces of interesting grit around here.
Also, Nicodemus don't give a fuck what we call her/him.
Opie The Opossum
O'Possum
Vote for Opie
With all due respect 11:37pm how 'bout you come up with something better than Opie and post it here instead of post how we can do better? I love people who say "we can do better" but don't post their better. What's the "better name" for him in your mind?
Opie is OK but I’m still voting for Barbara Streisand.
Opie ! Opie Oppossum
What about Bob?
Or Dixon?

Marcy the Marsupial.
Possy Galore?
Merry Christmas everyone!
RUDY FTW!
I agree that Opie is lame and that Nicodemus is cute. Nicky (when we're trying to save time and whatnot)?
