Brushtailed possums are not at all dangerous. They are very docile creatures and just want to be left alone. If trapped, like any other animal, they become scared for their life and will defend themselves. They are a very clean, disease free animal, although they are known to harbour ticks and fleas, and pose more of a danger to domestic pets than to people.
