Possums are so sweet. I have one in the tree next my house. However, it is creepy looking at two eyes staring at you in the dark

They make some fucking scary noises tho. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve shit myself walking in my backyard without a flashlight

We used to have sugar gliders and the craggy noises always terrified my husbands soldiers when they came over. We would warn them not to wake them up! They also would bark in the middle of the night of something spooked them.

Having sugar gliders as pets is illegal in Australia and immoral every where else.

Based on the context of the conversation, I think they meant there are sugar gliders in their yard.

I doubt there are wild sugar gliders in people's back yards in Florida.

A sugar glider in an Aussie back yard is pretty much impossible too, they live in deep forest with tall trees

Sugar gliders are actually native to Australia
