possums are slowly eating the country.
they were introduced by europeans for the fur trade like 150 years ago but now they're twice the size they were then and have no predators. they are fat and they prosper. taking over the country, they eat more brush in a night than can be regenerated.
true dat.
the amount of products made out of possum fur is quite astounding though. it ranges from hats, scarves, and socks to nipple warmers.
