A teenager has been charged after footage surfaced of him snatching a possum out of a tree in the dead of the night and brutally attacking it.
The 19-year-old from Cannonvale in the Whitsundays was filmed by friends holding the possum upside down by his tail repeatedly punching him in the face and body.
Another person who was not included in the recording also took a turn hitting the possum, who at one point appeared to flinch away from the assailants.
