    New Zealand has a huge possum population—perhaps 60 million

    • Possums seriously damage native forests and prey on endangered native animals (kiwis etc, near extiction)

    • Possums carry bovine tuberculosis (Tb) and infect cattle and deer

    • High Tb levels in livestock threaten New Zealand’s international trade

    • A long-term solution is needed for possum impacts on native plants and animals

    (still think they are cute) ?
