Trichosurus vulpecula
The common brushtail possum has large and pointed ears. It has a bushy tail (hence its name) with a prehensile tip and a hairless patch on the underside which helps it grasp tree branches.
The common brushtail possum is perhaps most widespread mammal of Australia. It is found throughout the eastern and northern parts of the continent, as well as some western regions.
Spotted these cute guys whilst on holiday in Melbourne back in July. This was the first time I have ever seen one of these. They are known as pests to some people, but I thought they where adorable.
