 Possums eat all the native birds food and kill them.
Possum’s are a pest to new zealand.
Possum’s only come out at night, so they are called nocturnal.
There are about 30 million possums in nz.
They can weigh between 1.4 - 6.4 Kgs.
They were first brought here to nz in 1837.
Around 9,000 tonnes berries,Leaves and fruit are eaten every night.
