The very clever possum - My animal report

 My Possum report

All about possums

We have lots of possums at our place. They only come out at nighttime (they are nocturnal).

They like the apple and willow trees the most. I have seen them taking the apples off the tree. 

Possums come from Australia and some people put traps to catch them because they are a pest in New Zealand. We do not trap the possum at our place because I like them.

Dad and the Possum

My Dad patted a possum the other day because he thought it was our cat.

And I patted a baby possum once it was sitting in my shed.

My dad said he has seen possum steeling the chicken from the nest in the hay shed.

This is a photo I took of a possum on a cabbage tree outside our house. 

Possum drawing

Here is a drawing of a possum.

Tail - they have thick fury tails 

Feet - they have very sharp claws

Colour - they have dark fur that makes them hard to see at night.
