“GOLDEN” POSSUMColor morph of the Brush PossumTrichosurus vulpecula©blacksnakeproductionsThe common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula, from the Greek for “furry tailed” and the Latin for “little fox”, previously in the genus Phalangista[4]) is a nocturnal, semi-arboreal marsupial of the family Phalangeridae, native to Australia, and the second-largest of the possums. Like most possums, the common brushtail possum is nocturnal. It is mainly a folivore, but has been known to eat small mammals such as rats. In most Australian habitats, leaves of eucalyptus are a significant part of the diet, but rarely the sole item eaten. The tail is prehensile and naked on its lower underside. The four color variations are silver-grey, brown, black, and gold. The gold looks remarkably like Pikachu ;)Another shot ©sreinischVIDEO:Mama and baby Golden Possume here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTP201cG5zw -- source link
