Reply to comment by Platipus54321 in Cutest little possum on my fence last night 😍🇦🇺 (OC) by nymphoninnsfw

I saw this and thought "Cute!? Sure, but that thing is a pest!" until I noticed the extra star. It is a shame they are a pest here though.

I had no idea that they were considered a pest over in NZ 😕

Yeah it’s actually a really big problem here, they eat the native trees and bird eggs and they are absolutely everywhere. Putting out traps for them is quite common and possum fur clothes are also pretty common.
