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.
