Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri)


Leadbeater's possum was at one time thought to be extinct as no specimens had been seen since 1909. However in 1961 the species was rediscovered in a dense mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forest in the highlands near Marysville, Victoria. It is completely arboreal and its paws are adapted to its lifestyle, being very wide at the tips with strong, short claws. This possum displays great agility in pursuit of its insect prey which it catches by night.
