Possums are different to opossums, despite misconceptions about this. * True opossums are found only in North America, although there is a "water possum", also known as the yapok, which is found in central and South America. 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.
