Australia is full of great night creatures, including many different species of possum. This is a green ringtail possum that I encountered one night on a spotlighting hike in the Atherton Tablelands of Queensland. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 600mm f/5.6 manual focus lens, ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, Nikon SB-800 flash
Sean,
Quite a different appearing possum from the ones we see here in the states.
The ones here in the south of U.S. don’t have hair on their tails and look some
what like a rat.
