Great interview here:
Didelphis opossums include the Virginia opossums. Opossums of this genus can eat cane toads without dying. Mexico and Central America are part of North America, so it is in error to say that Virginia opossums are the only species found in North America. They are the only ones found north of the Rio Grande.
Yes. It’s a terrible idea to introduce Virginia opossums to Australia to control cane toads.
