Caught in the Act - The Nightly Adventures of a Mischievous Brushtail Possum!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the stealthy escapades of a Common Brushtail Possum as it clings to a telegraph pole under the moonlit sky. With its large, curious eyes and bushy tail wrapped around the pole for support, this adult marsupial seems to be embracing its role as an alien invader in New Zealand. Hailing from Australia, these mischievous mammals have made their mark on Kiwi soil, becoming both pests and beloved creatures of fascination. As nocturnal beings, they thrive under cover of darkness – exploring new territories and leaving behind traces of their presence. This print perfectly captures the essence of this introduced species' audacious nature. With every whisker twitching and agile paws gripping tightly onto the pole's surface, our possum protagonist appears ready for any adventure that comes its way. While some may view them as invasive intruders disrupting native ecosystems, there's no denying their undeniable charm. Their fluffy fur and acrobatic antics make them endearing subjects for wildlife enthusiasts like Roger Tidman who captured this mesmerizing moment. So next time you spot one clinging to a telegraph pole at night in Australasia or anywhere else they've ventured off to – take a moment to appreciate these brush-tailed aliens who have carved out their own unique place in our world!
