As a first for me: not only a sighting of a Possum and then of a Bandicoot - in unfortunate circumstances on the road.

These two mammal marsupials have a combing toe on each hind foot.for grooming purposes.  The female bandicoot usually has a litter and the young crawl into her backward-opening pouch.
An American opossum has six teeth at the bottom front while local possums belong to a different family and have only two teeth.
