The common ringtail possum lives in Australian forests and dense scrub. It selects places where vegetation supplies food, cover and material for arboreal nests.
At night it eats chiefly leaves, including eucalypt leaves, as well as flowers, buds and fruit. Its digestive system helps use challenging plant food. A prehensile tail provides additional support while climbing.
Unlike many similar marsupials, it often forms small family groups. Individuals scent-mark territory and may share shelter.
