The Pygmy Possum is a small marsupial native to Australia and New Guinea. It belongs to the family Burramyidae and is known for its tiny size, typically measuring about 7 to 10 centimeters in length. These possums have a soft, dense fur that helps them stay warm in their natural habitats, which include forests and woodlands. Pygmy possums are nocturnal and primarily feed on nectar, fruits, and insects. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds. Due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures, their populations are declining, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
