The possum roadkill in New Zealand is awesome. This is not accidental
-- many drivers deliberately run them down no matter how much swerving
is required. Of course, random swerving is not that unusual for N Z
drivers. An Australian possum has taken root with fantastic success and
is eating up all the vegetation. I think they were originally imported
for a commercial fur and leather operation.
