	Australian Native Poisonous Plants
		Brush-tailed possums, bush rats and western grey kangaroos from this area are capable of safely eating these plants which are rapidly fatal for livestock, red kangaroos, eastern grey kangaroos and for brush-tailed possums and bush rats from eastern Australia.
		Because plant-eaters are well adapted to their natural environments, poisoning occurs only when those environments are seriously disturbed (for example by drought or human interference) and animals are forced to leave their accustomed ecological niches to feed on dangerous plants.
		Perhaps the ultimate in forcing animals out of their ecological niches was the introduction of European farm animals and humans to the totally new plants of Australia and other European colonies in the Americas and southern Africa.
