Hi Cedric, 4 molars and the inward projecting 'shelf' on the lower jaw say it is not a rodent but a marsupial. Dental features tell that is a BTP.

Thank you @DonFletcher . I will check that out and let the photographer know too. We were both wondering.

Hi @Jennybach, if you ask Professor Google they can show you artificial 'dreys' made from things like fern hanging baskets, which this species will inhabit.

Hi @courtneyb, Is the animal that brown blob in the top right corner? If so, and if you tell me you were quite sure this was a Brush Tailed Possum, not a Koala, Ring Tailed Possum, Greater Glider nor Yellow Bellied Glider, and give your reason, I will confirm it.
