	Honey Possum
		The Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus) or Noolbenger is a tiny Australian marsupial weighing just 5 to 10 grams— about half the size of a mouse[?].
		It is currently classified as the only member of its genus and of the family Tarsipedidae, but many authorities believe that it is sufficiently distinct to be more properly raised to a separate superfamily within the Diprotodontia, or perhaps even further.
		It is one of the very few entirely nectarivoruos mammals; it has a long, pointed snout and a long, protusible tongue with a brush tip like a honeyeater or a hummingbird.

	Biodiversity Hotspots - Southwest Australia - Unique and Threated Biodiversity
		Several other bird species are near threatened or rapidly declining in the face of habitat loss, modification and fragmentation or inappropriate fire regimes.
		This hotspot has roughly 60 native mammal species occurring, of which 12 are endemic, including the mouse-sized, nectarivorous honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus), the only representative of the family Tarsipedidae, which lives only in the coastal plain heaths of Southwest Australia.
		Another interesting endemic is the quokka (Setonix brachyurus, VU), a small, furry wallaby confined to the mainland, where it has been declining in numbers, and two small offshore islands (Rottnest Island and Bald Island).

	jannieboy: I'm doing lots of posts to make it look like i've been doing this for ages
		We have to name them after marsupials, as per our boss's commitment on computer naming consistency, but we're running out of interestingly named ones.
		The office is expanding so much that we've had to resort to unpronouncable stuff like, narbalek, petrogale, tarsipedidae, parantechinus and cercartetus.
		Luckily enough we've got blinkybill, dibbles, and fred just to add that little touch of inconsistency.
