Q 1: Diet. Opossums are omnivores and survive by eating a variety of foods. The primary sources of sustenance are small rodents, insects, worms, slugs and snails, frogs and birds. Additionally, opossums eat vegetables, berries, nuts, fruit, garbage, pet food and bird seed.
Q 2: The possums' in New Zealand began when they were introduced for the fur trade in 1837 from Australia (where they are a protected species). In theirnative land, possums fit in with the ecosystem where they are threatened by dingoes, bush fires and less vegetation for dinner to stop population numbers from soaring.

Q 4:Possums are a serious conservation pest not just because they can decimate localised stands of trees such as the spectacular, red flowering pohutukawas trees on Rangitoto Island, but more importantly because they change the overall structure and composition of native forests and other ecosystems.
Q 5: So they got a poison that can kill all other animals and that poison is 10-80 which is a small piece of poison that can kill any animal.
Q 6:Poisons are often the most effective way for landowners to control possums in large areas and are usually less labour intensive than trapping or shooting. Poisons are usually put in bait stations, which helps keep the bait dry and away from non-target animals.
