We cull and eat Kangaroos as their numbers are too much in some areas.

Wombats will never be in plague numbers or taste good!

Possums populations are stable and not the best eating.

Emu is nice if a bit tough.

I have never tried Koala but it was never a favorite with the natives so I expect its a bit tainted by their diet.

One of my best mates is called Wombat. We came up with the name at University because he is small, hairy and eats, roots and leaves.

The little Golden Possum would recognise your disability and pick you as the weakest of the herd.

It would then relentlessly pursue you until you could no longer hobble.

It would then leap for your throat and stick its razor sharp fangs into your jugular.

As your life ebbed away you would finally realise how damned cute the thing really is!

You right, the Possum would not have a chance to kill Annie.

As she blindly ran in terror though the forest a Drop Bear would leap from a eucalypt and do her in before the possum had its chance.
