It was introduced from Australia in 1837 to establish a fur industry. in Australia its population is kept down from dingoes, bush fires & less palatable vegetation. in New Zealand conditions are quite favourable for possums & the population now tops 70 million. It is estimated that they consume 70 million tonnes of native & introduced vegetation per year. The following is a series of points of the damage possums do: They damage our native forest. They eat the new growth leaving the old as well as eating berries & flowers. Often trees will end up dying. They compete with the native birds by eating insects & berries as well as eating their eggs & chicks, of which many are endangered species. They can damage crops as well as people's gardens. They are a nuisance in suburban gardens. They spread bovine tuberculosis in cattle & deer which is damaging to the dairy industry. New Zealand Possum Natural Brown Fur Lap Rug/Blanket Throw
