My possum art

On Wednesday, I created a poster about possums, New Zealand had a lockdown so Mrs Tafea emailed me to check room 7’s class site. When I checked the class site I found questions and pictures of possums so I thought I should draw a creative poster using my amazing colourful ideas!.

The possums problem

Possums are introduced pests who were shipped to New Zealand in 1837 by the British settlers, they didn't know that possums would cause huge trouble. They shipped  possums to NZ because they wanted the possums fur to create a fur industry.

At night when everyone is asleep, possums would scatter all over the place and WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY EAT, they eat every small new growth leaves on plants and trees, small insects and chicks even the eggs. 

When possums were brought in NZ, British settlers set all the bushy tail creatures free the stared to hunt them down to use the possum's fur to make money and buy clothes, after the fur industry female possums gave birth and the possum population grew bigger and bigger. A few years later in 1920s possums became a big problem: possums were destroying everything like devouring our native creatures and our gigantic nature so they planned to hunt possums by making traps to get rid of them.

By 2050 NZ has pledged to be pest-free. Hopefully with additional controls like traps, hunting and control measures the possum will leave Aotearoa 173 years after its arrival.

There is more then 1 pest. Hedgehog, goat, stoat, rat, ( mice ), possum, wessel, rabbit, cat, Wallaby.

Room 7 drawed their own picture of a pest, this is what I drew (hedgehog)
