These adorable tiny pygmy possums are still alive after the Australian bushfires – ZME Science
They’re alive, bless their souls, but they’re at their most vulnerable right now.
The devastating Australian bushfires of 2019-2020 harmed up to 3 billion animals, burning almost half the country in the process. Many species, including the pygmy possum, were feared extinct. Now, for the first time since the fires, one possum has been found, raising hopes that the species may yet survive.
