honey possumnounA tiny shrew-like marsupial with a long pointed snout and a prehensile tail, found only in SW Australia, where it feeds exclusively upon nectar and pollen.- Tarsipes rostratus, the only member of the family Tarsipedidae.
Researchers at the University of Western Australia are working on two endangered species, the honey possum and the potoroo....- One such animal, the honey possum - a very small creature that tips the scales at less than a tenth of an ounce - feeds exclusively on the nectar and pollen of colorful flowers, particularly those of the tree Banksia attenuata.
- Interestingly, the honey possum belongs to the same marsupial taxonomic division as the dichromatic tammar wallaby.
