This varies according to the species. Koalas, for example, have no tail at all - just extra thick hide with padding for sitting on gum tree branches all day. Possums have a prehensile tail for gripping tree branches. Kangaroos have a long, strong tail for balancing. The feathertail glider, as its name suggests, has a long tail with feather-like fur.
