Ringtail possum
Pseudocheirus peregrinus
-37.7974, 145.281
Field Notes
Description:
This possum came to my front door for a brief visit. Quite small and curious it is probably a youngster. Their prehensile tail distinguishes them from our other common brushtail possum
Habitat:
Suburban yards running along electrical wires and probably looking for leftovers in the dogs food bowl.
Notes:
Possums along with all native terrestrial mammals are marsupials, giving birth to very small young and suckling them inside an abdominal pouch.
These possums were seen earlier on the other end of the same cable. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14574070
