What are true possums?
True possums, belonging to the order Diprotodontia and family Phalangeridae, are marsupials native to Australia and New Guinea. Unlike the opossum found in the Americas, true possums have a more rounded body and a fur-covered tail, which is not prehensile.

Most types of gliders, or gliding possums, can glide up to 90 metres, but they cannot fly.
