What eats a ringtail?

Ring-tail possums are essentially omnivorous, meaning they will eat some types of vegetation, and some proteins.

In the wild, they eat young shoots, leaves, flowers, nectar and fruit of a variety of trees and shrubs. They also feed on insects.

Ring-tail possums also enjoy a feed of bread and honey put out by helpful suburban homeowners. However, it is best not to feed possums as they may become dependent on people for their food supply.
