Features of a ringtail possum video transcript

Video transcript

Ringtail possums are nocturnal animals that live in the shrubs and trees. This means that they only come out at night time to find their food and in the daytime they like to sleep in what's called a drey.

Behind me in this tree I can see a drey already. It's a nest made out of sticks and leaves. Ringtail possums have large eyes so they can see in the dark.

They also have browny grey fur for camouflage and claws and a long prehensile tail to help them climbing in trees.

End of transcript.
