Brush tail possums are native to Australia. They are common throughout both the mainland and Tasmania wherever there are bushland areas and plenty of trees. They are also quite at home in suburban areas, and regularly claim their territory in the roofspace of people's houses. The brushtail possum was introduced to New Zealand in the nineteenth century. Due to the absence of natural predators, they have become a pest in that country, causing considerable damage to the environment, and populating the islands very quickly.
