The former is South American, I think, and completely unrelated, having evolved separately from the Australian possum.

The possums of Austrailia (and NZ -- please take them all back) are called opossums, but we just can't be bothered saying the o. They are marsupials. I'm pretty sure the South American ones are too, but obviously there is more than one species of opossum. clare -- cla...@cs.auckland.ac.nz OWotRFA Thinking of Maud you forget everything else. -- hack v1.0.3 Who was that Maud person anyway? -- nethack v3.1.0
