The brush tailed possum is one of seven species and is about the size of a cat. It has a pointy snout and a pink nose. Its whiskers are long. They can grow to as big as 550mm long plus a tail which is another 250-400mm long. The tail is prehensile and assists the sharp claws in climbing trees. They are furry and those in Tasmania are furrier as they have adapted to the colder climate. They are usually black, grey or the smaller Queensland variety is sometimes copper coloured. Such colour variations have been seen also in Tasmania and the image is of a pale copper coloured brushtail.
