🌙 Meet Tasmania’s Night Shift: Possums!
Tasmania is home to the Common Brushtail Possum & Common Ringtail Possum.
Nocturnal and tree-loving, these climbers spend their nights feeding on leaves, fruits, and flowers 🍃
Joeys grow safely in mum’s pouch before hitching a ride on her back 👶
Brushtails are bold and solitary, while ringtails are smaller, shy, and build leafy nests 🌿
👀 Hear rustling after dark? You might have a possum neighbour watching you! 🌙
