В середине ноября в полицию новозеландского городка Данидин на Южном острове поступил довольно необычный звонок. Местная жительница рассказала, что не может покинуть дом из-за агрессивного опоссума, который сидит за входной дверью и нападает на нее, как только она делает шаг за порог. Прибывшие на место полицейские быстро нашли маленького злоумышленника. Как только они подошли к дому потерпевшей, из ближайших кустов показался тот самый опоссум, который сразу же залез на ногу одному из офицеров. Зверька стражи правопорядка забрали с собой, чтобы показать его ветеринару и убедиться, что животное здорово. Оказалось, что маленьким «террористом» был не взрослый опоссум, а подросток, который, видимо, недавно был разлучен со своей матерью. Его поведение эксперты объяснили не агрессией, а испугом. Попав в незнакомую городскую среду, малыш просто не знал, как себя вести и таким образом решил защищаться. Как говорят специалисты, в таком возрасте опоссумы только учатся вести себя правильным образом в случае опасности. После осмотра ветеринара малыша выпустили в дикую природу подальше от города, где он будет чувствовать себя в безопасности. Сообщается, что в дикой природе Новой Зеландии у опоссумов почти нет естественных врагов, а потому их число быстро растет. По словам экологов, зверьки, которых завезли в страну еще
