Possums are small creatures which differ from the size of your
finger being from 63 medium-sized arboreal marsupial species.
The possum is native of Australia, New Guinea and Sulawesi.
Their fur differs between the following colours; grey or brown.
These are nocturnal or omnivorous animals. They are to be found
in nest or in hollow trees where they eventually build up their
homes. Possums only get out of their "caves" to forge food.
Their main dishes are fruits, vegetables and flowers. They are
mainly found in suburban areas where their loud hissing and
crackling territorial call for male Common Bushtail may be a
problem for the residents. Not only do they create or form their
homes in hollow trees and in nests but they also try to do so on
roofs and in gardens. They are legally protected but regulations
and it is not encouraged to trap them or keep them indoors for
domestic purposes. It is advised to give them free way to live
by either capturing them or releasing them some far metres away
from your home. This is to be done only if they annoy your
day-to-day living. To conclude, they may disturb you but they
are and will always stay harmless animals. |
