Random visitor gets way too comfortable at an airport gift shop causing quite a frenzy

A wild brushtail possum recently gave travelers quite the pre-flight surprise, making itself right at home among the stuffed animals in a Gifts & Souvenirs shop at Hobart Airport. This adorable marsupial was spotted on Wednesday, March 18, casually hanging out with its plush counterparts, causing customers to do a serious double-take while they were just trying to get some shopping done in Tasmania, Australia. 

According to People, the furry visitor was filmed crouching comfortably on one of the shelves, blending in so perfectly that you might not have even noticed it at first glance. Liam Bloomfield, who is the multi-site manager at the Lagardere AWPL duty-free store, mentioned that staff first came across the possum around 11:45 AM local time. He told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the possum looked “pretty comfortable with his friends there.”
