I once rescued a baby brush-tail possum from high up on the brick wall of my house-it was trapped up there by my cat.
It was maybe 4-5" long, not including the tail, but sank its teeth into my thumb. I managed to get it across the road to the bush, hoping it would find its mother, but when I released it, it rushed back at me and attacked my foot!
After visiting my doc. for a tetanus shot, I decided it could take care of itself in future!
