Possum
A
possum
(plural form:
possums
) is any of about 70 small- to medium-sized
arboreal
marsupial
species
native to
Australia
,
New Guinea
, and
Sulawesi
(and introduced to
New Zealand
and
China
). The name derives from their resemblance to the
opossums
of
the Americas
(the name is from
Algonquian
wapathemwa
, not
Greek
or
Latin
, so the plural is
possums
, not
possa
or
possi
).
