Public Enemy #1

This guy may look cute, but he is thoroughly hated here. This is a captive Australian possum and his kin have destroyed more native trees and birds than any other animal. The government kills millions and the public kills them too. People will swerve across the road to hit them and
people also shoot and trap them and it is generally seen as a patriotic duty to kill as many as possible.

I just recently put a photo of an American Opossum on my site. Of course my little guy was dead with a Miller beer bottle in his paws. :)
