The brushtail possum lives in pandanus or up in trees and in tree hollows where it goes inside, climbing up and sleeps there and sometimes it gives birth to its young there.
The female is called warragurl (or warrakurl) and it gives birth usually in kunumeleng season (December).
There is a 4 minute discussion about catching possums in the Marlkawo region by Mary Kolkiwarra in the audio for Kundedjnjenghmi.
