Description

The Possum is a small to medium-sized marsupial native to Australia, not to be confused with the American opossum. Usually active at night and preferring to sleep during the day, they nest high up in trees. Like the kangaroo, the female possum carries its young in a pouch. The possum is protected by Australian law and is an important animal in Australian culture and folklore.
