Leadbeater's Possum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Leadbeater's Possums can be moderately common within the very small areas they inhabit: their requirement for year-round food supplies and tree-holes to take refuge in during the day restricts them to mixed-age wet sclerophyll forest with a dense mid-story of Acacia. Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) is an endangered possum restricted to small pockets of remaining old growth Mountain Ash forests in the cool, misty highlands of Victoria, Australia. Leadbeater's Possums are rarely seen: they are nocturnal, small (about 16 cm long and about 130 grams, or the size of a small rat), fast-moving, and occupy the upper story of some of the tallest forest in the world. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Leadbeater's_Possum   (690 words)

Restraint and Anesthesia of Possums (Diprotodontia: Burramyidae, Pseudocheiridae, Petauridae, Tarsipedidae, Acrobatidae) Possums are categorized into four superfamilies: the Phalangeroidea (cuscuses, brushtail possums and the scaly-tailed possum), the Burramyoidea (pygmy-possums) all with prehensile tails, the Petauroidea (ringtail possums, Leadbeater’s possum, striped possums, wrist-winged gliders and the greater glider) all with a prominent dorsal stripe and prehensile tail, and the Tarsipedoidea (honey possums and feathertail gliders). The possums are characterized by having one pair of lower incisors, three pairs of upper incisors, and no lower canines. A pair of sectorial premolars is present in mountain pygmy possums. www.ivis.org /special_books/Heard/holz5/chapter_frm.asp?LA=1   (606 words)
