Are there possums in Patagonia

Answer 1

No.

True possums are found in New Guinea, Australia (including Tasmania), Sulawesi (Indonesia) and a few other small islands in the Pacific region. Although not native to New Zealand, the brush-tailed possum was introduced into that country over a century ago and has subsequently become a pest.

Varieties of possums found in Australia include the ring tail possum, various species of pygmy possums, brush tailed possum and gliders.

The creature known as an opossum is found in North America, while a type of water-possum, known as the yapok, is found in central and South America.
