They are introduced in NZ and have destroyed the native bird populations.

We trap and hunt them here.

Charleston chew!

I forget that possums aren’t pests in some parts of the world.

A wizard did it.

Mine are all named for the colour of the case, or case accent when ambiguous, though network infrastructure items are named for their models, being the typical default.

Uhn-jun-uhks in NZ TYVM.
