Are possum parties disrupting your slumber? We sit down with Tara McKenzie, a PhD student from the University of Adelaide, and delve into the nocturnal antics of urban brushtail possums. In this enlightening podcast, Tara unpacks her research on these adaptable creatures and their secret urban lives. Despite their common presence, she exposes the conservation risks they face, challenging our perception of their success in cities. Learn about their quirky diets (peanut butter, anyone?), vital ecological roles, and how to coexist peacefully with them. This engaging discussion will equip you with the know-how to turn your garden into a wildlife haven and give you a newfound appreciation for the symphony of sounds from your furry neighbours. So next time the dusk chorus begins, you'll know the crucial role these creatures play in our urban ecosystem.
