Hi All,

I assume this photo depicts possum droppings, but I'm not certain and
wouldn't mind identifying it out of sheer curiosity.

We do get possums on the verandah from time to time, but these droppings
look a little different to the usual 'offerings' left behind.
Note the thumbnail-like indentation in each dropping:

Thanks for any ideas.


Maybe they've been eating something different to what they usually eat
(e.g. something with more water in it?).

It's the right size for a brushtail.

Ringtail droppings are considerably smaller.
