Homeowner Lifts A Picture Frame Hanging On The Wall And Suddenly A Tiny Snout Pops Out
Sometimes, home surprises don’t come in the form of a creaky floorboard or a missing sock. Sometimes… they come with fur, whiskers, and a tiny pink nose.
One TikTok user recently found themselves in the middle of an unexpected housemate situation, and the internet was absolutely hooked.
While doing a little casual rearranging around the house, probably just tidying up or trying to give the wall a fresh new look, they reached for a photo frame that had been hanging there.
It seemed like a simple task. But the second they pulled it off the wall, they froze.
Because what they uncovered wasn’t just a blank space or a bit of dust; it was a full-on surprise that was equal parts adorable and shocking.
Behind the frame was a hole. Not just a crack or a dent, but a fairly large opening in the wooden paneling.
And inside that hole, was a quiet little visitor peeking through: a possum! Yep, a real one, right there. In the wall. Just… hanging out.
The little creature had apparently been living rent-free in the walls, minding its own possum business, until it was accidentally discovered.
At first, the homeowner was definitely startled, who wouldn’t be? But the video they shared quickly turned from a moment of panic to something completely hilarious and weirdly heartwarming.
The possum, with its sweet little face and twitchy nose, instantly stole the show and, soon after, the hearts of millions.
The internet, of course, went wild. Within days, the video had millions of views, and the possum was officially a social media star.
People couldn’t get enough of its curious expressions and slow little movements. They filled the comments with love for the uninvited but adorable guest, as one person said:
“His little snoot poking out of the floor. I’m sorry but this is adorable.”
And another added:
“That is the cutest possum I’ve ever seen. The possums by my house look like enormous rats. He’s fancy.”
And like any true celebrity, the possum even got a name: Glenda. Glenda the Possum.
Since her big reveal, she’s been featured in several follow-up videos where fans get to see her tiny face, her cozy wall hideout, and the way she peeks out to check if the coast is clear.
In one video, the homeowner even reached out to Glenda, gave her soft little nose the lightest touch, and ran their fingers through her fuzzy fur.
You could almost feel Glenda relaxing into it like she knew she’d found someone kind.
While most of us probably wouldn’t want a possum living in our wall, there’s something special about seeing wildlife this up close.
It’s also worth remembering that not all possums have it as easy. Glenda might’ve found herself a cozy nook in a house, but many of her relatives are struggling.
Some species, especially the fairy possum, are critically endangered due to habitat loss from fires, logging, and climate change. It’s a heartbreaking reality that makes encounters like Glenda’s feel even more precious.
So while Glenda lives her best possum life in the wall (for now), her story reminds us to treat our wild neighbors with kindness. Especially when we see how one tiny face poking out of a wall crack can make millions of people smile.
