Southwestern pygmy possum
The southwestern pygmy possum (''Cercartetus concinnus''), commonly known as the western pygmy possum or the ''mundarda'', is a small marsupial found in Australia. Genetic studies indicate its closest relative is probably the eastern pygmy possum, from which its ancestors diverged around eight million years ago.〔
==Description==
The southwestern pygmy possum is unusual in ''Cercartetus'', as, unlike its grey relatives, the fur over most of its body is a bright cinnamon colour.〔 It has pure white underparts, which also distinguishes it from its relatives, and has a relatively indistinct patch of darker fur in front of the eyes. It possesses larger, oval ears, large eyes, and long whiskers. The tail is long and prehensile, and is covered with fine scales, rather than fur. The hind feet have opposable first digits, while all four feet have broad pads at the tips of the toes.
Although small compared with most other possums, it is one of the larger pygmy possums, with adults ranging from in head-body length with a tail long. Adult weight ranges from . The female has a well-developed pouch, opening to the front, containing six teats. At up to in length, the tongue is unusually large for such a small animal.〔
