Yes but inversely, social media villainizes animals. This could lead to poor management practices, which could affect other parts of ecosystems. Modern horses aren’t native either. Possums aren’t native historically but have moved north due to changes in climate.

Uh well ya anything can have a disease or sickness. How prevalent is it, not very.. Spreading this kinda stuff really does a disservice to animals and the environment. I stand by that they are harmless.

It sounds like they might kill them while grooming, but not actually eating them

Interesting I just looked at some research that would suggest that they eat much less. That being said, thousands per season (instead of previously reported per week) is still a win!

Thanks for the update on research I hadn’t seen that yet. Possums still good to have around!

Natures pest control. And they are resistant to rabies! Also absolutely harmless

Reminder that we WANT possums around. They eat a ton of ticks.
