This is an article I wrote about my behavioural research on the rarely seen Rock-haunting Possums, Petropseudes dahli.

The juvenile Rock-Ringtail possum above is one my study animals from Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory.

This juvenile Rock-Ringtail possum above, was a little unsure about his glamour photo shoot, you can see this by his ears pulled back and flattened slightly. He was happy to rejoin his family later that night.

The juvenile Scaly-tailed possum above is one my study animals from a remote area of the Kimberley Region in Western Australia.

This family above became relatively unafraid of me.


If you have visited the Territory Wildlife Park just out of Darwin in the Northern Territory, you may have seen adult Rock Ringtail Possums that I located and caught for the Park and advised on dietary requirements and behavioural needs.
