A ringtail possum is a native marsupial of Australia (although other sub-species may be found in Indonesia and New Guinea). Unrelated to opossums, the ringtail possum is primarily red-brown in colour, with the length of an adult averaging 30-35cm, excluding the tail. Its name comes from the fact that its tail is curled and partially prehensile.
