[http://masonstours.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html Lots of Striped
Possums have been seen, on all areas of the tracks.There are still lots of dead
trees around after the 99 cyclone, and this means there are many larvae to be
found, which Stripey Possums love. We often hear the noisy little fellows
before we see them, as they make a real racket searching for food. ]

[http://masonstours.blogspot.com/2007/08/nightwalk-sightings-summary-junejuly-07.html There have been good Striped Possum sightings, with one sighting having the possum only a couple of metres away. It was a young possum, and didn’t seem to scared of us at all! There are still lots of dead trees around after the 99 cyclone, and this means there are many larvae to be found, which Stripey Possums love.]

[http://www.jennifermarohasy.com/blog/archives/001756.html I photographed this
striped possum (Dactylopsila trivirgata) at Cooper Creek Wilderness on the 21st
October, 2006, and I was very pleased to see that this photograph of a striped
possum, was in fact, two. Sparsely distributed throughout the wet tropics and
along the east coast of Cape York (Australia), the species is spectacularly
acrobatic and most frequently found after hearing it crash into overhead
vegetation. It forages by welting rotten tree material and listening carefully
for beetle larvae, which it extricates with its specialised elongate fourth
digit on the front feet.]
