Lil Dragonfly Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Are these North American opossum or New Zealand possum? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Generally North American opossum is not suitable for fur. The hair is too coarse and thin. However having never seen a new Zealand opossum pelt that wasn't dyed, I will have to defer to our furrier experts. I do not recognize the fur type of either image.

ReFur Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I love it, too! Very dense soft wool feel to it. Light weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGalanos Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I always associate New Zealand opposum with those fur lined rain coats from the late 70's/early 80's. I thought they were purt durn cool at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The bottom picture is definitely New Zealand possum. I have no idea about the fur in the top picture. Tricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 In defense of the American Possum. He may be ugly and coarse haired but the rats won't hang around where he does. Pogo was kinda cute and very politically insightful too. OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
