Trichosurus vulpecula
The brush tailed possum is one of seven species and is about the size of a cat. It has a pointy snout and a pink nose. Its whiskers are long. They can grow to as big as 550mm long plus a tail which is another 250-400mm long. The tail is prehensile and assists the sharp claws in climbing trees.
This baby possum cutey spotted in captivity in Sydney, as far as I know he is rescued and orphaned
