Drop-Bears, Drop-Possums sighted in Brisbane....

Relax!
Unless they are of the Sabre Tooth, variety their bite is only superficial and so not to be feared.
It is the Killer Koala's which you have to be careful of!

many thanks for the advice Ross, they may infact be sabre-tooth possums 'cause one of the refugees did bite me and it was quite vicsious....

There must be some sort of war going on in the clump of trres in our carpark. Constant battle noises from the turkeys, flying-fox's and possums during the night. Lines of ant nest developing during the day to clean up the carnage.

As a result refugee possums stop over on my patio as they cross the niebourhood. One female, with joey, can't bring herself to leave her beau on the battle-line and we have become familar.

She bit me a few nights ago as i was retriving the feeding bowl. It was a good bite. She used her two front lower diprotodontal insciors (yep, i googled 'em) as reverse sabres whilst breaking skin with her upper max's.

Maybe these ars Sabre-Tooth Possums after all! Maybe the training camp is my backyard! omg, Where should I make an official report to?

Landcoaster - Unfortunately, it obvious that you have unwittingly blown our cover and exposed our major scheme to rid Brisbane of possums, by secretively oiling every tree branch, under cover of darkness, within the Brisbane CBD and suburbs.

The aim was admirable - to make every Brisbane possum slip and fall from every tree they chose to utilise, landing heavily enough on the ground - not enough to injure them, but to disorient them, and to make them realise they were unwelcome.

It was thought that this regular disorientation and thumping would soon make them retreat to areas where they discovered the tree branches weren't oiled - and there were coincidentally, also, less humans living.

It was hoped that this forced relocation would soon make them realise that the Australian bush provided all they need by way of food sources - and that they had no need to invade humans habitation areas, where food scraps could be found - and everyone would be happy!

Now that you have unwittingly exposed our scheme, it's highly likely the possums have now been forewarned (as they do like to use computers and the internet as much as humans) - and we could now sight possums armed with handfuls of cleaning products, busily scrubbing tree branches in your area!

Cheers, Ron.
