Possums
Both Brush-tailed and Ring-tailed possums live in the valley. They are both marsupial. Brush-tailed Possums can be as large as a domestic cat, have a pink nose, sharp claws and big eyes and ears. They are grey/brown in colour with a long 'brush' tail. They live in forests and woodlands and are active at night feeding on leaves, buds, fruit and flowers. Ring-tailed Possums are smaller and have a smooth, thin tail that they can hook around branches when moving through the trees. Again be on the lookout for these cute animals when driving through the valley at night as they sometimes have to cross the road.
