Ringtail Possum Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

Anyone creating animal stories in puppet theatre can easily include the ringtail possum hand puppet by Hansa Creation. The puppet suits small scenes, quiet storytelling moments and imaginative play. This makes it easy for new stories to grow.

The ringtail possum has a particularly long tail measuring approximately 58 cm in length.

The common ringtail possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) lives in eastern Australia and Tasmania. It builds nests (dreys) from leaves and bark in tree canopies and feeds primarily on eucalyptus leaves. Its prehensile tail works like a fifth hand, enabling skilful climbing. As a nocturnal animal, it spends the day curled up in its nest.

Did you know that the ringtail possum digests its food twice? It consumes its own caecal pellets to optimally process the hard-to-digest eucalyptus leaves — a strategy also used by rabbits.
