 The photo on this page was taken on August 30th, 2007, the night before Cocoa died. Kwila appears on the right. We wanted Cocoa to live a long, healthy, happy possum life, but we were aware that possum existence is difficult and uncertain, and that anything could happen at any time. Accidents like the one that happened to Cocoa are common. If you find an injured native animal, take it to a vet or call the nearest all-hours vet. Certain animals, like possums, may be calm enough to be picked up if they are covered, (including their heads), with a towel or blanket and placed in a box, but some other animals may be dangerous. You will not have to pay for the animal's care costs. We certainly did not want Cocoa to die, but it was a relief to be able to find her, to have the resolution/closure of knowing what had happened to her, and to ensure her suffering was not prolonged. Cocoa will be missed. Cocoa main page mp3: |
