Burramyidae is a family of small marsupials commonly known as pygmy possums. They are native to Australia and New Guinea and are characterized by their tiny size, large eyes, and long tails. These nocturnal animals primarily inhabit forests and woodlands, where they feed on nectar, fruits, and insects. There are several species within the Burramyidae family, including the Burramys parvus, also known as the mountain pygmy possum. These marsupials play a crucial role in their ecosystems by pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds, contributing to the health of their habitats.
