Tips from locals
The introduced 'possum is a serious ecological problem in New Zealand. They have to be culled to protect our native environment. With typical Kiwi ingenuity many uses have been found for the skin and fur of these animals. Opossum world has information about the possum problem and industry in New Zealand, and retails items such as possum fur slippers and merino possum/wool knitwear. Warning: may be disturbing to animal lovers.
