Possum Fight: Cocoa v Olaf

Cocoa (a female brushtail possum), irritated by the presence of Olaf, ferociously attacks him and drives him off. She is still in a bad mood when her son Queek arrives.

This movie gives an example of some of the sounds brushtail possums make while fighting.

Just in case it isn't clear, this is *not* a staged fight. These are wild possums who are free to come and go at will. Scuffles like this are a natural and fairly common part of brushtail possum life.
