platypus Posted October 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2014 What a nice image. It does closely resemble my kitchen! And for the same reason, though most of my plants are succulents and can't be left out overnight even in summer due to danger of possum predation, it's a lot of work carting them in and out (not the possums).

Yes, I've found that possums do not like to be carted anywhere. Interestingly, there is one living in our back garden but I have rarely seen him. Or her?

platypus Posted October 5, 2014 Share #7 Posted October 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, I've found that possums do not like to be carted anywhere. Interestingly, there is one living in our back garden but I have rarely seen him. Or her? From my years of intensively (if inadvertently) studying possum behaviour, (thanks for the opportunity to do this must go to the long term resident in the roof cavity of my house) I have learnt that possum society is organised on the basis of the female occupying the home nest on a permanent basis. It seems they have a fairly matriarchal social setup. The males are a floating population only visiting the females in the nest at the appropriate time and sleeping rough otherwise. When the time ceases to be appropriate the female summarily tosses the male out of the nest, a great deal of hissing and spitting ensues, but she always wins. In due course she gives birth and raises the result as a single mother until it's turn comes to be tossed out. The upshot of all this being that, if your back garden possum is a permanent resident it is almost certainly female. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted October 6, 2014 That's excellent very useful information. Possums--like so many other members of the animal kingdom--seem to have a much more rational social order than we humans. The human patriarchal system has been an abject failure in most ways. Hard to admit, but true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to admit, but true. Brent, I'm really impressed that you read all that! The possum accommodation problem is acute as there are not enough hollow trees available, or humans prepared to put up with one + baby in their roof, which is understandable as they can be noisy lodgers. I feel some sympathy for the possum males doing it hard out in the cold, but the system seems to work for them. I don't know if we could learn from it.
