It is funny, but it IS a staged fake; the left-hand "photograph" on 
the poster is from the Wikipedia article on opossums (as of the time 
the image originally started circulating; that photo has since been 
replaced and is not in the opossum article any longer). So, the 
person who made the poster was pulling a stunt, deliberately - there 
never was any such person who found any such animal.

Peace,
