MOUNTAIN PYGMY POSSUM IN 2012



I'm a big fan of local film maker Richard Snashall's documentaries. This is a second interview following a previous video filmed 5 years ago where Richard interviews Dr Linda Broome, the world's leading authority on the rare Mountain Pygmy Possum (Burramys parvus) which lives above the Australian snowline.


On a side note a similar species, the Eastern Pygmy Possum, (Cercartetus nanus) was re-discovered in July last year in Namadgi National Park (post here).
