The Mountain Pygmy-Possum is the only Australian mammal that needs winter snow to survive. Unfortunately, snow sports and snow activities damage its habitat by compacting the snow.

The mountain pygmy possum is 45 grams in weight, 11 centimetres long, it is a mouse like animal and its tail is 14 centimetres long.

The Mountain Pygmy Possum eats insects (such as the Bogong Moth), fleshy fruits, nuts, nectar and seeds.

Before 1966 everybody thought that Mountain Pigmy Possums were extinct because scientist could only find fossils but when a living specimen was discovered in a ski-hut on Mount Hotham they found that it wasn’t extinct.

Some Threats are extinction, habitat loss or destruction and cats and foxes.
