I figured why not keep things in Australia for another day. This is a green ringtail possum, also photographed in the Atherton Tablelands area of Queensland in the northeast area of the country. Like other possums, the green ringtail is strictly nocturnal. Unlike other possums, the green ringtail practices what is known as coprophagy. What is coprophagy you ask? The practice of eating one’s own feces. Here’s to not being a green ringtail possum.

I am currently a student of New York Institute of Photography. All your photos are so sharp. I like them all.
Ewwwww, I am going to have to stop reading this blog so early in my day! Nasty little tidbit to think about for the next several hours. His tail looks a long link of sausage.
Um…I’m in the middle of eating my breakfast. Thanks Sean. And what is that thing under his foot? Do I have to photoshop that out too??!!
Just trying to educate, Shardae. And those are his toes that you are mistaking for other parts.
He’s so cute for being a poo eater.
I thought Shardae would like this fella he reminds me of the Tarsiers minus the diet
