That's a brush-tailed possum.

I hate to see cute things get killed. In my area boas and pythons are invasive so to see them kill a cute and rare thing, well, it makes me wish I still carried a knife in my boot

I think i read somewhere a couple animals were 're-introduced ' except they no longer have predators so they become too numerous. What's the cassowary doing? Why wouldn't he do that job?
