    A baby possum jumped onto Molly and has made itself rather comfortable. Instead of shaking the possum off, Molly and Poss have become inseparable. 

    Poss, the baby possum, had also been abandoned by her mother which made the pair a strange, yet perfect match. It is reported that Molly is happier than ever with her newly adopted baby. Sarah Moyle, told 9News in south-west Victoria, "It's certainly uplifted her mood, they both needed each other I think so it's been a fantastic relationship."

    Because possums are nocturnal, Poss spends her days sleeping in the trees around the property. Elle Moyle says, "Molly just sits under the tree where she's sleeping and just waits for her". While it's unclear as to how long Poss will be hanging around, doesn't seem like the Moyle's or Molly mind it at all.
