Leadbeater's possum is found in Victoria, and is the faunal emblem of that state. The possums nest in the hollows of old trees, preferably those in excess of 150-200 years in age, but drought and the increased number of bushfires in recent years in Victoria has reduced the numbers of such available trees.
