So, a possum walks into
a bar...wait you heard this one?
Patrons at Temkins in Greenpoint were shocked
when a possum wandered into the establishment last Thursday evening.
One person who kept her cool, however, was
Alaska native Sara Fulton. She calmly walked up to the animal and led it
out the door.
“It’s just like wild animals are just second
nature to me, not really afraid of them, felt comfortable enough,” said Fulton.
“I grabbed him like you would a little kitten… took him around the bar and
outside and led him on his way.”
Fulton says she's already had people approach
her at her job about her calm actions in the face of the wild intruder. Video
of the encounter has gained traction on social media platforms.
Wildlife
agencies say you shouldn’t approach a possum in most situations – luckily in
this case, nobody was hurt.
