As opposed to the multiple varieties of Australian possums which aren't the same thing at all as US possums. Exactly. Possums of various sorts are on multiple continents. Other marsupials generally not. One can try to distinguish some types by calling them opossums. Was the wombat eating stuff in your garden or did you get to it in time and relocate it? Being herbivores I would think you don't want any in your garden. Quite so. Other than what they may eat you could be inflicted with one wanting to dig a home. Imagine a 5 year old boy at the controls of a bulldozer..... I figure they are not as voracious as rabbits but they just might taste somewhat like rabiit. No clue if they are rare enough to be protected. They are much bigger than rabbits but don't occur in such large numbers. All native fauna is protected by law regrdless of rarity. D |
