The pygmy possum's only defence is its claws and teeth, but these would be ineffective on a predator. It tries to escape predators by climbing. It is a very agile creature, able to jump and climb, and it also uses camouflage, staying still so that predators cannot easily spot it. The pygmy possum also hides in hollows in trees.
