What are facts about the ringed tail possum?

Behavioural adaptations of a ringtail possum include:

• They nest in hollows in trees, enabling them to stay clear of predators
• When habitat is cleared, they adapt quickly and easily, moving into the roof space in houses, or any other available space such as dog kennels or fireplaces
• Possums are nocturnal, which means they feed at night
• Although social animals, possums are intensely territorial, defending their territory with loud screeches and hisses, and sometimes fighting
• Also, they carry out coprophagy - Ringtail possums consume their own faeces which helps it reabsorb the same nutrients once again.
