Great picture!
This reminds me of a possum we had laying in our road outside my house. He was a great actor! He REALLY looked dead. After a few weeks, he progressed his act of feigning death and emitted scents that were even more convincing. Somehow he made his body flatter and flatter.
One day, the pancake-flat actor was gone! So we threw a huge Possum Going Away Party. 'Twas a gala affair.
