Common Brushtail Possum
Trichosurus vulpecula
Common Brushtail Possums normally eat leaves, buds, flowers and fruit.
They are marsupials. Young possums live in their mother’s pouch for about 5 months, and then travel around on her back for 2 months afterwards.
Brushtail possums are usually active at night and spend the day sleeping in trees or hollow logs.
Sometimes they move into the roof of a house instead, where they can create a lot of noise and damage. If this happens, you need someone with a licence to move them because possums are protected by law in Australia.
