How do opussum protect themselves and what body part?
The phrase "Playing 'Possum" comes from the opossum's way of protecting themselves. Playing possum means to play dead.

What is the human impact on opossum?
Humans have impacted significantly on the Mountain pygmy possum's habitat. One of the main threats to the mountain pygmy possum is the human interference as a result of the possum's habitat coinciding with the location of Australia's main ski resorts. The possum's habitat is broken up by ski runs. Skiing and similar human recreational activities are a threat to this delicate creature. Humans have also introduced animals such as wild cats and foxes which are also a problem. They prey on this small possum. Another major threat to their survival is the fact that humans have introduced the blackberry species which are gradually making their insidious way up the slopes of the mountains, choking out native species, and thus threatening the mountain pygmy possum's food source.
