Possums

Ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch Further details: Possums are territorial, and their disputes over territory often result in a loud hissing noise which may best be described as partially a squawk. They also make loud grunting noises.

A ringtail possum is a native marsupial of Australia (although other sub-species may be found in Indonesia and New Guinea). Unrelated to opossums, the ringtail possum is primarily red-brown in colour, with the length of an adult averaging 30-35cm, excluding the tail. Its name comes from the fact that its tail is curled and partially prehensile.

The feather-tailed possum, which is not the same as the feather-tailed glider, is native to eastern Australia (except for Tasmania) and New Guinea. Its habitat varies from the rainforests of north Queensland to the drier sclerophyll forest of Victoria.

Yes. Queensland is home to numerous possums and glider species. Most common atr the Brushtail and Ringtail possums.

if its bothering you call animal control and if it isn't just leave it alone or if you want kill it but it will be inhumane

stop cheating

Yes and no. Australians do not know the honey possum by the name of "tait".In its native habitat of Australia, the honey possum is called the "noolbenger".

it walks on four feet

Just as the Teddy Bear was named for President Theodore Roosevelt. Billy Possum was Named after President William Taft. No one is quite sure why Taft became associated with a Possum but it is assumed it has to do with Taft's habit of falling asleep and the possums trait of playing dead when cornered. (Taft had a form of Narcolepsy which may have been caused by sleep apnea.) Billy Possum was also a southern character similar in nature to Briar rabbit.

It could, but it would be unlikely to. Possums prefer sweet foods, such as nectar-laden flowers, fruits and sweet saps. A wild ginger plant would not be sufficiently sweet to attract a possum.

A possum's nostrils serve the functions of both helping the creature to breathe, transmitting air to its lungs via its respiratory system; and enabling the possum to detect scents.

Yes. All mammals have internal fertilization.

if felt threatened they will play dead if that doesnt work they will switch to attack mode

some do. it depends on what kind of snake. like vipers and boas for example

Yes there are possums in Europe. They are pretty much anywhere that has a forest, woods, and Night.

you look under their belly to see if it has a ding-a-ling -(that would be a boy) and if it doesnt, its a girl

Lay off of spicy foods for about 2 weeks after getting the piercing.

No. Possums do not play opossum. This trait is unique to opossums alone.

The Leadbeater's possum is thought to for live up to 10 years, but very few specimens have been recorded as living beyond 5 years.

If you are asking about the Honey Possum, they don't really eat honey. They eat or survive on the pollen, and nectar of flowers only. They live in Western Australia, and they aren't even really possums. They are tiny marsupials. The Honey Possum is called a "nectarivorous", one of the few mammals in the world that specializes in eating just the nectar of flowers. They have a long snout, with few teeth, and a long tongue that is "protusible" with a feathery tip for dipping up pollen and nectar. For more details, see the sites listed below.

Is a sports announcer expression that means the better/stronger team plays better later in the season (or game). I know Keith Jackson would use it sometimes while announcing college football.

It is inadvisable to make a habit of feeding wild animals at all, as they tend to come to rely on humans for their food.

Regardless, don't worry about what can or cannot be fed to them. If they don't like it, they will not eat it. This is presuming you have not illegally captured a ringtail possum. A registered carer would know what to feed one.
