It depends on the species.

The largest possum species of all is the cuscus, which may have a body length of 60cm and a weight of 3kg to 6kg.

The largest species of common possum, the brushtail possum, has a body length of about 55cm, and a tail length of some 40cm. It weighs between 1.2kg and 3.5 kg.

On the other hand, an adult mountain pygmy possum weighs only about 45 grams and easily fits into a human adult's hand.

Note that possums are not the same as opossums.
