How do I tell the difference between a Common Brushtail Possum and a Common Ringtail Possum?
A. Common Brushtail Possums have a black, bushy tail, while Common Ringtail Possums have a tail that has short fur and a white tip. Occasionally, a Common Brushtail Possum has a white tipped tail, but its fur is long. (See also About possums in Victoria for more information and photos of these possums).
