Puriri are not high on the list of Possum's preferred food. They will eat the flowers and possibly the fruit but don't tend to eat the leaves. Of more concern is the lack of Kereru which spread the seeds.
Common predators of the green ringtail possum are the Spotted-tailed Quoll and Rufous Owl.
Probably... kill an animal. I'm a vegetarian, so other than this question, I would never kill nor eat an animal.
the possum is quite a small animal therefore, you would think it was easy prey. not so fast! this petite rodent knows how its predators think! who wants to eat a dead animal lying on the dirty ground? not me! that is exactly what the predator thinks when he sees that "dead" possum on the ground. i think you can guess the rodent's sneaky defense by now! it plays dead!
A rattlesnake could kill an animal the size of a horse or cow. However, it could not eat such a large animal. Its bite would be in self defense.
lions will kill and eat a hyena
possum, raccoon, coyote, dog, cat
Skunk, possum, coyote, dog, cat, raccoon.
they are not the most dangerous. Although they only eat plants they can kill a person with there teeth. They would not eat a person but they would kill one but they aren't the most dangerous.
They do not kill unless that is the option .
To make other little possums, eat everything, make possum grease for Arthritis, and possum pie.
No. True possums live in Australia. Squirrels do not. Possums do not eat squirrels. The American opossum also does not eat squirrels.
