A real possum appears among plush toy animals in Australian airport shop

On shelves crammed with cuddly toy native animals in an Australian airport gift shop, one fluffy possum stood out because its brown eyes were moving. A browsing passenger first spotted an actual living Australian brushtail possum peering out from among the kangaroos on the display shelf at the terminal shop at Hobart Airport in Tasmania state on Wednesday. Airport retail manager Liam Bloomfield said on Thursday how the possum got into the store and how long it spent there are unknown. Airport staff were able to remove the possum from the airport unharmed.
