AG Nature Photographer of the Year 2020: Animal portrait shortlist
26 June 2020
THE SMALLEST POSSUM. WESTERN PYGMY POSSUM (Cercartetus concinnus). This adorable western pygmy possum was feeding amongst the shrublands surrounding Lake Cronin. Although small, their eye-shine is very noticeable and they are relatively easy to find. They often sit still if they feel threatened and jump away at the very last second.
