Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri)

Central Highlands, Victoria.
Finally managed a photo of this notoriously difficult to photograph species! These critically endangered marsupials are restricted to small patches of Mountain Ash forest in the Victorian Central Highlands region. Remaining populations are unfortunately under huge pressure from clear-fell logging and burning within these forests, and are declining at an alarming rate.
