Podcasts about possums

Damage in the garden can strike at any time. Serious leaf damage (chewing and molesting of foliage all the way down the branches of a tree or shrub) is not something that small birds tend to do. At ground level you can rightly guess that sparrows and quail are the possible delinquents, but when it really looks like full-on destruction you will need to do a bit of research: Large bites in leaves: classic possum damage! Skeletonised Pohutukawa was bringing the trees to extinction – Project Crimson was the organisation that started the rescue mission. Possums work on their local, favourite tree in the neighbourhood – constant chewing puts trees under pressure to make more leaves, often with an increased amount of sugar – Yum! Bark damage is easy to spot: big scratches up and down the tree. Possum poo (1-1.5 cm in length) is often found under the tree – a dead give-away! But the most ridiculous damage in your garden is possum chewing on fruit, especially citrus. It's often like the possum helps you to peel the fruit – it only seems to like that peel and doesn't often touch the fruit, unless it is very sweet and ripe. Possums are rather destructive eaters. They eat a decent number of different trees – their favourites are Pohutukawa, Totara, Kohekohe, and Tawa, and their feeding habits literally have an impact on the make-up of our forests. That means that our forests are often changed in composition, which in turn could have an impact on the sequestering of carbon. All possums in New Zealand together eat about 21,000 tonnes of vegetable material – almost equivalent to the weight of the Sky tower! They also eat birds, and the eggs in their nest, and many larger insect species. At night, possums roam their territory. They are not always easy to find, as they are rather sneaky when going from tree to garden. We used to have them in the city of Auckland and many people simply didn't believe they would have them in densely populated areas. But even on quiet nights, possums can be heard making their special noises: growling, hissing, and screeching. Possum control is best attempted with the good old “Possum Trap”, also known as the Timms Trap. There are also the newer models of re-setting traps. Cam Speedy is a brilliant trapper and his best lure for possums is the following mixture: Make a “blaze” with flour (1 kg) and icing sugar (100 gr), plus 15 ml of cinnamon, peach, eucalyptus, or vanilla essence.

What if everything you've been told about baby sleep is wrong and the real solution is already built into your baby's biology? Dr. Pam Douglas is the founder of the Possums Sleep Program, a science-backed, sanity-saving alternative to traditional sleep training. In this myth-busting episode, she shares where so many of the things we think we know about sleep come from, why they often create sleep problems instead of solving them & how understanding your baby's biology can change everything.

Gesprächsgast in spielboxcast 23 ist Christopher Kraft von Koalla Spiele. Noch vor einigen Wochen hätte so mancher keine Ahnung gehabt, wer das sein könnte. Doch Kraft und seine zwei Mitstreiter haben das Spiel KAURI lokalisiert. Darin geht es um die Ankunft der Europäer in Neuseeland und die Ausbreitung von Possums, die eigentlich nur zur Pelzzucht mitgebracht wurden. Was das mit der Ökologie auf der Insel macht, beschreibt KAURI in einem komplett asymmetrischen Spiel. Und tatsächlich: Der Kiwi hüpfte auf die Nominierungsliste zum Kennerspiel des Jahres. Die Hosts Manuel Fritsch und Stefan Ducksch sprechen über das Spiel und das Verlagsprojekt der drei engagierten Spieler – und die fast schon kuriose Entstehungsgeschichte von Koalla. Auch in dieser Folge spielt die Zollpolitik von US-Präsident Donald Trump wieder eine Rolle. Diesmal hat der spielboxcast mehrere Verlage um Stellungnahmen zu ihrem Umgang mit der aktuellen Situation gebeten und interessante Antworten erhalten. Außerdem geht es in der am 23.5.2025 aufgezeichneten Folge um die Neuerungen bei der SPIEL in Essen, die jetzt eine weitere Halle nutzt und mittlerweile ebenfalls einen eigenen Podcast hat. Fritsch und Ducksch sprechen auch über die BGG.Spring in Dallas, auf der Fritsch zum Zeitpunkt der Aufzeichnung unterwegs ist. Stefan Ducksch wirft abschließend einen ersten Blick in das Buch „Das moderne Brettspiel“ von Tom Werneck.

As I was setting up the round of interviews that would be our first Women In Comics Feature to celebrate Women's History Month on the podcast, I wanted to get a variety of voices included to represent different facets of the medium. That lead me to reaching out to Barbra Dillon, Editor-In-Chief of Fanbase Press, a GLAAD Winning and Eisner and Harvey Nominated publisher and geek culture website. Who better than Barbra to cover the angle from both the vantage point of a small indy comics publisher as well as comics journalism. Two birds, one stone and I've been meaning to catch up with her since last Fall when their anthology Ripple Effects was crowdfunding which was of considerable interest to me as its focus is to increase awareness of and highlight people with incurable non-visible diseases like myself.   I don't know of another comics journalism outlet that shares such a strongly aligned set of core values like Fanbase does so it was a pleasure to finally get a chance to catch up with her and chat about representation in the medium. Fanbase are celebrating their 15th Anniversary in 2025 and provide a range of unique and diverse programming to support creators in the medium. Please take a moment to check them out if you haven't already. Mission Statement Fanbase Press celebrates fandoms and creates new ones!

Possums don't typically live in the Mountain West, but a couple weeks ago, a Moab resident caught one in a skunk trap in his backyard. North America's only marsupial has a high rate of reproduction and can quickly throw native ecosystems out of balance. The Division of Wildlife Resources suggests setting traps if residents see possums near their houses. You can report possum sightings to the DWR at 435-613-3700. //Photo via Flickr

Getting your baby to sleep might feel like the hardest part of your parenting journey. Have you ever been advised to let you baby ‘cry it out' or been told to just ‘put your baby down'? Or rely in sleep cues and routines?

She has about 30 international research publications, 8 of which are evaluations showing the benefits of NDC or the Possums programs.

Throughout history, humans have given a lot of thought to death. We've grappled with our mortality, created elaborate burial rituals, and contemplated how best to mourn the loss of a loved one.But what about other animals? How do they understand death? Scientists have begun looking at this question more closely in the last two decades.For example, chimpanzees have a wide variety of responses to death based in part on their relationship with the deceased. Possums put on elaborate displays to fake their own deaths. Ants can tell another ant is dead by the chemicals it omits, but have no concept of what death actually means.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with Dr. Susana Monsó, associate professor of philosophy at the National Distance Education University in Spain and author of Playing Possum: How Animals Understand Death.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

This week on Flightless Bird, David Farrier investigates why American opossums are so different to New Zealand possums. Speaking of which - why does one have an “O” in front of them? To find answers, David meets up with a possum called Horace, and learns that contrary to popular opinion possums are not related to rats. In fact possums have many amazing traits including being pretty much immune to rabies, being living fossils, and masters at playing dead. While New Zealand possums are terrible for the environment, the possums Farrier discovers in LA are very different beasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
