Possums walk and climb. They are efficient climbers, scaling trees of various sizes, and often leaping between branches, and from trees to house roofs. They scamper quickly through the bush and along branches and house roofs. Gliders are also in the possum family: as well as climbing, they have skin membranes stretching from their wrists to their hind ankles which allow them to glide between tree tops.
