[00:00.00] | Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, |
[00:02.17] | the mammals have finally arrived in force. |
[00:06.31] | Australian possums. |
[00:08.50] | Imported for their fur two centuries ago, |
[00:11.02] | they soon reached plague proportions, |
[00:14.03] | stripping trees of their vegetation. |
[00:16.60] | A war is being waged against them. |
[00:19.19] | Traps set and poison scattered. |
[00:22.01] | And yet they are now far more numerous than the kakapo ever were. |
[00:25.64] | A staggering 70 million possums overrun New Zealand's forests, |
[00:29.81] | where a bird failed, a mammal has succeeded. |
[00:33.30] | But why? |
[00:34.39] | The possums were unwitting immigrants, |
[00:36.40] | while the kakapo have lived here for millennia, |
[00:38.67] | perfectly adapted to this forest. |
[00:40.95] | It's an irony that is by no means unique to the kakapo and the possum. |
[00:44.90] | Right across the Pacific, similar scenes have been unfolding. |
[00:48.57] | Tiny islands off the coast of New Zealand |
[00:50.72] | are the last refuge for a host of animals |
[00:53.52] | now vanished from the two main islands. |
[00:56.16] | This is Stephens Island, |
[00:58.33] | one square mile of rock protruding from the ocean. ( |
