    Default possum

    Kiwis rewriting history a bit seem to think fur trade was an Australian idea,I figure if its 1800s blame the Poms they are already in the black books for introducing those truly horrible stoats to NZ. What an evil little creature they are

    Powerful Owls eat possums.

    From what I've seen, they eat half the animal and leave the remainder hanging in a tree for later. They seem to eat the head and front legs first.

    Whether the owl was the culprit in Phil Spencer's original post, I couldn't say.

    According to one local 'expert', Powerful Owls tend to have favourite eating trees, and leave possum skulls underneath without any other body parts.

    Default powerful owls

    Ive read that favourite tree thing somewhere before this,one of the studies of populations used it to work out how many pairs of owls were per square whatever maybe If a pair can eat 200 possums a year then thats a fair pile of skulls
