Down here in New Zealand I trap a few Australian Brushtailed Opossums (introduced to our country and now regarded as a pest). They might typically look like this:



or this:



Sometimes I see a few whiter strands of fur, occasionally I've seen a short portion of the end of the tail that is fairly white. The possum pictured below had more white on it than I've ever seen. Sorry, didn't take a pic showing the face and eyes, but I don't recall anything different about it:



Best wishes with your work.... Stephen Coote.

Good quality pelts and plucked fur can be sold from these animals. Most pelts aren't good ones, but a top grade one may fetch NZ$12 or $14. Currently we are being offered NZ$105 per kilogram for the plucked fur. The fur has to be longer than 20 mm so generally the leg and belly fur isn't wanted...neither is the coarse stuff from the tail. It takes the fur from maybe 16 animals to provide a kilogram.

The brushtailed opossum fur is hollow, and it is blended with merino wool to make high quality garments.

With the animals having 'pest' status here, it can be 'green' to wear brushtailed possum furs or fiber garments.

Those are pretty sweet possums. Way cooler than our ugly, moronic, idiotic looking things we've got here.

If our possums had furred tails, and faces that didn't scare children, I might like them. Yours loo more like a cross between a cat and a skunk, imho.

I always wondered about international trapping. I always kinda thought we were the only ones (in the US) that still trapped anything. Naive, a little?

Are you sure that picture of the "hairless rodent" isn't a Mountain Beaver, not a squirrel? Where is the long tail? Look up the Mountain Beaver on the web and compare it! LT
