Behold the western pygmy possum! This dainty marsupial typically weighs ~0.5 oz (14 g)—that's about as much as a AA battery! It inhabits treetops in forests throughout parts of Australia. As a nectarivore, it mainly feeds on plant nectar.

And, being Australian, it will chew through your bedroom wall and eat you while you sleep.
Welcome to Australia, cobber! 
@PeterLG @globalmuseum I saw this or a similar pic with the caption "This is the only Australian animal that won't kill and eat you. It wants to, of course. It just can't...".
@globalmuseum Each and every one a trained assassin.
@globalmuseum Just leave the Australian animal posts to us Australians please.
@globalmuseum How is my apartment building not infested with these rather than cockroaches?
All my life I've had to deal with the hot weather, the suburban sprawl, and the appalling fingernails-down-a-blackboard accent, and I have not a single adorable marsupial to my name!
