brushtail possums

No problem FoTony. I agree, totally.

I'm loath to think of these as pests, as we love ours, Tony. But their introduction to NZ has been tragic, mostly because they've entered an environment with out predatory checks on them nor have the tree evolved to make themselves unpalatable to mammals.

That's what you get if you introduce a vegetarian to a banquet of vegetables!

Cool looking creature!

Nice, yes I remember when we were there they were considered pests.

Lovely! You might want to consider putting the last image first, as this is the one that shows this lovely little guy in most detail. I think you will get more viewing with that photo as the thumbnail. You can rearrange the order in edit mode by dragging & dropping.

nice spotting!!

It's much cuter than the ones we have here in Florida.
