I call the Ringtail Possums "the Mousies".
It's always a joy when I hear them after sunset and see them run like crazy along the thinnest of branches.
Beautiful, agile and cute beasties, with gentle calls and amazing acrobatic skills.
When winter approaches, they carry twigs and leaves with their curled tails to build comfy warm dreys.
Here, there is also at least one Eastern Pygmy Possum, probably more. But they are literally as fast as Speedy Gonzalez, much more difficult to spot and completely impossible to photograph. But even just seeing them is such a treat!
