This #MarsupialMonday we’re pleased to bring another common possum to the fore: the common brushtail possum, or 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢—aka the possum you’ve most likely heard on your roof or seen ravaging your fruit trees.

Did someone say #MarsupialMonday? We present the common ringtail #possum: we especially love a prehensile tail! With a large range up and down Australia’s east coast, they have a healthy population but are not as widespread as the common brushtail possum.

Happy #MarsupialMonday! We’re digging the #MarsupialMole this week.
Marsupial moles are still quite mysterious to us—field studies have not been abundant. They dig through sand, but beyond their terrain we don't yet know much about their life underground.

This #MarsupialMonday we’d like to highlight the #Numbat, A carnivore, this critter sports great stripes and a great tail. Previously widespread, the numbat now lives only in small pockets: fewer than 1000 are left in the wild.

Happy #MarsupialMonday! Have you met our little friend, the #SandhillDunnart?
Often called a “marsupial mouse” 🐀 the nocturnal dunnart is a carnivorous critter who likes to feed on invertebrates: think ants, spiders, termites, etc. In the rare periods when food is scarce, they can enter torpor.

This #MarsupialMonday join us in enjoying the eastern #quoll (𝘋𝘢𝘴𝘺𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴), once known as the native cat. A carnivorous marsupial, this critter is also very fashion conscious with its distinctive spots! As an extra trick, they exhibit biofluorescence under ultra-violet light—ooh la la!

David Collins' 1804 description of the wombat includes the statement: "This animal has not any claim to swiftness of foot", which, while beautifully put, is quite untrue. #MarsupialMonday

On #MarsupialMonday, wombats are never far from our thoughts. In 1804’s “An Account of the English Colony of NSW”, David Collins writes, “The WOM-BAT is a squat, thick, short-legged and rather inactive quadruped, with great appearance of stumpy strength”.

#MarsupialMonday is starting small today! The Long-tailed planigale—also known as “Ingram’s Planigale”—is the smallest marsupial and weighs just 4.3 grams (that's about the same as a grape!). These secretive little critters are rarely seen but they are common through Australia’s top end.
