The Department of Conservation is on high alert after a dead possum was found on largely predator-free Great Barrier Island. The possum was found by a local resident on the road at Whangaparapara sparking a wide-reaching investigation to establish how it got there and whether more of the pests could be on the island. First Up producer Matthew Theunissen asked DoC's Aotea Great Barrier Island operations manager Kirsty Prior about the mystery marsupial.
