	Threatened Species - Mountain Pygmy-possum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Burramys is the largest of the pygmy-possum family, yet weighs only about 45g and can fit easily into the palm of a hand.
		During hibernation, the metabolic rate of Burramys is reduced to 1-2% of normal; periods of inactivity become progressively extended and may be as long as 3 weeks.
		Burramys feed mainly on the fat-rich moths to increase their body weight so they can withstand the rigours of breeding, nurturing and hibernation.

		A method of validating stochastic models of population viability is proposed, based on assessing the mean and variance of the predicted population size.
		The method is illustrated with a model of the population dynamics of Burramys parvus Broom 1895 (the mountain pygmy-possum), based on annual census data collected from a single population in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia between 1986 and 1997.
		parvus appears vulnerable to loss of habitat and reductions in the population growth rate.

		Calaby, Dimpel, and Cowan (1971) suggested that Burramys, unlike most possums, is not arboreal but mainly terrestrial and adapted to climbing shrubs.
		When released under controlled conditions, Burramys ran rapidly on the ground and over rocks in a ratlike manner and did not hesitate to dive into holes.
		Burramys is the only marsupial known to establish caches of durable foods; such storage would facilitate winter survival.

	Mountain Pygmy Possum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All active users are invited to vote in the Elections for the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation.
		The Mountain Pygmy Possum ( Burramys parvus) is a small, mouse-sized (weighs 45g) nocturnal marsupial of Australia found in dense alpine rock screes and boulder fields, mainly southern Victoria and Tasmania but also around Mount Kosciusko in New South Wales.
		It is approximately 11cm long; although its prehensile tail is longer than the head and body at almost 14cm.

		The Mountain Pygmy-possum (Burramys parvus Broom 1895) is the largest of five species of pygmy-possum in Australia; its other common name is Burramys.
		Burramys is a small omnivore weighing about 45 g; the Bogong Moth (Agrotis infusa) is its main food in Victoria.
		The Burramys population on Mt Higginbotham is possibly the best-known small mammal population in Australia, as 12 years of ecological data have been collected.

		Species that are behaviorally rigid or have special habitat requirements may not be able to cross roads under the best of conditions.
		The mountain pygmy-possum ( Burramys parvus), an Australian mammal whose movements are restricted to rock substrates, suffered reduced survival when a road bisected its habitat.
		When a tunnel with rocks was constructed underneath the road, the mountain pygmy-possum's survival rate substantially increased (Mansergh and Scotts 1989).

	Climate Action Network Australia : Alpine
		From 1970 to 1996 there appeared to be a decreasing trend in the number of days on which snow was recorded in the Snowy Mountains, which correlates with both warm regional temperatures and higher average temperatures across all of Australia (NPWS, 2001).
		Warming due to climate change is likely to threaten its survival because B. parvus needs 70cm — 1 metre of snow to keep warm during winter hibernation.
		Snow acts like a doona, keeping the temperature at 2°C, and the projected decrease of snow cover will expose the possums to more extreme cold.
