Furry Visitor Delights Airport Gift Shop in Tasmania

Hobart, Tasmania - In a delightful twist of fate, a curious brushtail possum has decided to make itself at home among the plush toys at a gift shop in Hobart's airport. The unexpected visitor, spotted nestled cozily between the stuffed kangaroos and dingoes, has enchanted both staff and customers at the Lagardère AWPL store.

The discovery was made by a passenger browsing through the gift shop's shelves on Wednesday morning. To the delight of onlookers, the possum was peering out from its newfound hideaway, seemingly content to join its fluffy counterparts on display.

Brush-tailed possums, native to Australia, are known for their adaptability and tendency to seek out cozy nooks and crannies. It's not uncommon for these charming marsupials to wander into unexpected places, but finding one nestled among a collection of plush toys is certainly a unique occurrence.

The Hobart Airport staff and management were quick to react, ensuring the possum's safety and well-being.
