Okay, since I have two asks -- one for a Possum and one for an Opossum, this one will be the Australian Possum while the other will be the American Opossum!
Australian Possums are mostly herbivorous, mostly eating eucalyptus. But that's poisonous to humans. And sometimes they eat eggs or lizards. I don't think you want to eat lizards, but I'll include some alligator at the end, just in case.

I hope this helps, friend!! The Opossum Ask will be out next!!
A ringtail possum a backyard fence, lit from the front and perched underneath palm fronds.
This photo (b&w version) is up on my site for prints and products! I’m really happy with how the notebooks turned out, honestly, and this is probably the best fitting photo I’ve uploaded for prints so far.
Its around 11pm and I've been listening to a possum munching away in the neighbours fruit tree, what sounds like half a dozen cars doing burnouts, and a koala in the distance is doing what I can only assume is REPLYING to the sound of the cars by roaring in similar patterns. A koala has done the same thing when my dog was barking at it, they sound like bloody devils.
Brushtail possum loves climbing trees, so ranger was an obvious choice. He’s also got opposable thumbs, which makes him pretty much the only one capable of wielding a bow.
Side note: I this is my favourite little guy out of this series, I'm very proud of how he turned out.
I have a self insert original character now! Her name is Mint and everyone is in love with them because I said so and no-one can stop me
She wears a lot of hearts because she's best friends with Rouge 🩷 While drawing her I realised I technically could make her any colour I wanted, considering Sonic's a Blue hedgehog and Knuckles is bright Red, but idk I like replicating the natural colours you can see in animal fur so you get common ringtail possum markings 😀
Animal of the day: The feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus), also known as the pygmy gliding possum, pygmy phalanger and flying mouse is a species of marsupial native to eastern Australia. They are the world's smallest gliding mammal and are notable for their feather shaped tails 🪶
