Man is the main enemy of the possum. He destroys its habitat, and actively seeks to remove it when it then takes up residence in house roofs. (It should be noted that in New Zealand the possum should be eradicated, due to the massive damage it is causing, as it is not native to the country.)
Dogs and foxes kill possums, while even cats, especially feral ones, can be a threat. The spotted tailed quoll, a carnivorous Australian marsupial, eats possums, as do pythons. Wedge tailed Eagles, Powerful Owls and Masked Owls prey on possums.
In Tasmania (Australia's island state), the Tasmanian Devil also preys on possums.
