	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.

	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.

		Leadbeater's Possum ( Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) is a small omnivorous arboreal marsupial with a head and body length between 150 and 170 mm and a tail length between 145 and 180 mm.
		In 1991, the then Victorian Department of Conservation and Environment released Draft Management Strategies for the Conservation of Leadbeater's Possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri, in Victoria (Macfarlane and Seebeck 1991).
		The aim of the Strategies was to ensure the long-term conservation of Leadbeater's Possum over the known range of the species.

		Striped possums are particularly adept at locating and teasing beetle larvae out of dead wood, using their elongated fourth fingers.
