Possums : the Brushtails, Ringtails and Greater Glider Paperback / softback

Part of the AUSTRALIAN NATURAL HISTORY series

Paperback / softback

Description

Possums are the most common arboreal mammal in Australia. - Understandably, many people find the doe-eyed and bushy-tailed critters to be very appealing: many feed them from their suburban balconies while others volunteer to care for injured or orphaned animals.

In many parts of Australia, the wellbeing of a local population of possums can prove a major community concern. - Possums of Australia is concerned with the 'larger' possums of Australia, those 13 species that belong to the Brushtail and Ringtail families, including the Greater Glider and the Spotted Cuscus. - Conservation and management are key issues for many possum populations and the results of long-term population studies now provide us with a better understanding of the dynamics of possum numbers. - Written in the accessible style of other book in the Series, Possums of Australia is highly illustrated with eight colour plates and approximately 50 black and white line drawings.
