Possums are different to opossums. Possums belong to the family Phalangeridae and order Marsupialia, while opossums belong to the order Didelphimorphia, although they are also marsupials. Possums are found in New Guinea, Australia (including Tasmania), Sulawesi (Indonesia) and a few other small islands in the Pacific region. Possums are not native to New Zealand, but the brush-tailed possum was introduced into that country over a century ago and has subsequently become a pest.
