Common Ringtail Possum
Pseudocheirus peregrinus
-37.7742, 145.036
Field Notes
Description:
The common ringtail possum weighs between 550 and 1100g and is approximately 30–35 cm long when grown (excluding the tail, which is roughly the same length again). It has grey fur with white patches behind the eyes and usually a cream coloured belly. It has a long prehensile tail which normally displays a distinctive white tip over 25% of its length.
Notes:
Not entirely sure what's going on in this photo. I've seen it sitting like this numerous times. The first was a very hot day so I just thought it was too hot for it in the nesting box. This picture was taken on a much cooler day. So it's either gorging itself at night and too big to fit through the door or it's commandeering someone else's house?
