What do honey possums eat?
If you are asking about the Honey Possum, they don't really eat honey. They eat or survive on the pollen, and nectar of flowers only. They live in Western Australia, and they aren't even really possums. They are tiny marsupials. The Honey Possum is called a "nectarivorous", one of the few mammals in the world that specializes in eating just the nectar of flowers. They have a long snout, with few teeth, and a long tongue that is "protusible" with a feathery tip for dipping up pollen and nectar. For more details, see the sites listed below.
