Predator.

The jungle came alive! Run!

Be thankful you don't have foxes in NZ. The sound they make is horrendous. 

Yeah, it's a possum.

+1 for this. 

Many a time had them outside the window making noises like that. The ones that sound like wheezing old men laughing can be a little disconcerting at first too :D

networkn: Laughing apparently though it wasn't laughing as my German Shepherd came out of the house full tilt and chased him across the lawn. Both were moving so quick I thought it was a cat initially.

Thunder was in full on killer mode. Fur up and growling like a beast!

While dogs can be vicious possums are hard units and a dog is likely to come off second best. Also possums can carry TB

Yeah, I was raised on a farm with lots of bush and I've seen a couple of P v D fights.

True. You can impersonate it with a blade of grass and lure them out if you know how - I was taught by our shoot's Keeper, as we used to go out and knock the local foxes over to keep the pheasants alive!

I found one sleeping in a tree last week (or more accurately, my dogs found it). Tough or not, being shot up the behind from about 10 m away seemed to work..! They are actually pretty heavy things too.
